About the Item
Title: Alpine Botanical Lithograph Quartet: Micomeria, Edelweiss, Primula, and Arabis
Description: This remarkable set of four botanical lithographs, published in 1874 by George Bell and Sons in London as part of the second series of Alpine Plants, captures some of the most iconic alpine flowers: Micomeria piperella, Leontopodium alpinum (Edelweiss), Primula cortusoides, and Arabis androsace. Each print is an exquisite example of Victorian botanical artistry, blending scientific precision with a refined aesthetic.
The first print features Micomeria piperella, a delicate alpine herb with slender green stems and small, graceful pink blossoms. Next is the famous Edelweiss (Leontopodium alpinum), its soft white star-shaped flowers accented by a halo of bright yellow anthers. Revered as a symbol of rugged mountain landscapes, Edelweiss is beautifully depicted in this fine lithograph.
The third print celebrates the Primula cortusoides, also known as Cortusa Primrose, with its vibrant magenta-pink flowers standing tall above lush green foliage. The final print portrays the hardy Arabis androsace, a low-growing plant with compact white blooms that contrasts dramatically with the rich green leaves and rocky alpine soil.
Published by George Bell and Sons, known for their dedication to precision and elegance, these lithographs were part of a series that brought the wonders of the alpine world to the parlors of Victorian naturalists and collectors. Each print remains a testament to the enduring fascination with the beauty and resilience of alpine flora.
Condition summary: These antique lithographs are in very good condition with only minimal edge wear that adds a touch of vintage character.
Framing tips: Use classic wooden frames with soft cream or pale green mats to highlight the bright whites, vivid pinks, and soft greens of these alpine flowers. This will create a harmonious display that celebrates the charm and sophistication of these timeless botanical prints.
