Antique Botanical Lithographs of Lilies – Gold-Rayed, Saffron
St. Joseph’s, 1897
A striking set of three antique botanical lithographs published in 1897 in Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse by Edward Step. These finely detailed plates depict three distinctive lilies, each celebrated for their beauty and symbolic meaning.
The first plate shows the Gold-Rayed Lily of Japan (Lilium auratum), also known as the "queen of lilies," with its large, white, gold-striped blossoms and crimson spots. Native to Japan, this lily was widely admired in 19th-century Europe for its exotic appearance and fragrance.
The second plate illustrates the Saffron Lily (Lilium croceum), a brilliant orange lily that was commonly grown in European gardens. Its fiery blossoms, speckled with dark markings, highlight the boldness of the species, which was especially popular during the Victorian passion for brightly colored flowers.
The third plate depicts the White or St. Joseph’s Lily (Lilium candidum), a symbol of purity long associated with religious iconography. Its pure white blossoms, rendered with elegant precision, evoke a sense of timeless beauty.
Together, these three plates capture the diversity of lilies and their importance in horticultural and cultural history. The lithographs remain vibrant and detailed, a testament to late 19th-century botanical illustration. They are offered unframed, making them ideal for custom presentation.
