About the Item
Title: Alpine Botanical Prints of Alpine Blue Gilia and Purple Poppy Mallow
Description: This delightful pairing of botanical lithographs, published in 1874 by George Bell and Sons in London, features two captivating sets of alpine flora: the Alpine Blue Gilia (Triteleia laxa) and Snake’s Head Fritillary (Fritillaria meleagris) on the left, and the Purple Poppy Mallow (Callirhoe involucrata) with the Alpine Sea-lavender (Statice emarginata) on the right. These prints, part of the second series of Alpine Plants, highlight the skill and dedication of Victorian botanical illustrators, blending scientific study with artistic flair.
The left print showcases the graceful Alpine Blue Gilia, with its slender green stems and lovely lavender-blue blossoms, accompanied by the striking, checker-patterned Snake’s Head Fritillary, whose elegant drooping blooms are rendered with meticulous detail. The right print features the rich, deep red of the Purple Poppy Mallow’s vibrant flowers, offset by the soft lilac clusters of the Alpine Sea-lavender above a dense rosette of green foliage. Each illustration captures the intricate structures of these alpine plants, offering a vivid glimpse into the beauty of mountain ecosystems.
George Bell and Sons, a celebrated Victorian publisher, was known for their dedication to producing works that were as visually captivating as they were scientifically precise. The Alpine Plants series, with its blend of rich color and botanical accuracy, exemplifies this marriage of art and natural science, providing a fascinating window into the 19th-century passion for botany and exploration.
Condition summary: Both lithographs are in good antique condition, with only minor edge wear that adds to their authentic vintage charm.
Framing tips: Use classic wooden frames with soft green or cream mats to complement the botanical details and muted Victorian palette. This will enhance the rich colors of the flowers and leaves, creating a timeless and elegant display.
