About the Item

Title: Antique English Botanical Prints – Water-Dropwort Studies for Elegant Interiors c.1902 Description: This striking group of four original hand-colored botanical plates comes from English Botany; or, Coloured Figures of British Plants, Third Edition, edited by John T. Boswell Syme and published in London by George Bell Sons in 1902. The illustrations are based on the authoritative work of James Sowerby and J.E. Sowerby, whose depictions of British flora are celebrated for their scientific precision and refined aesthetic quality. The set focuses on different species of Water-dropwort, plants belonging to the genus Oenanthe, long studied for their distinctive forms and wetland habitats. Depicted are Sulphurwort Water-Dropwort (Oenanthe silaifolia), recognizable by its upright stems and softly pink umbels; Parsley Water-Dropwort (Oenanthe lachenalii), noted for its parsley-like foliage; Hemlock Water-Dropwort (Oenanthe crocata), also known as Dead Man’s Fingers, a visually impressive but historically notorious plant due to its toxicity; and Fine-leaved Water-Dropwort (Oenanthe phellandrium), sometimes referred to as Floating Water-Dropwort, shown with its characteristic delicate foliage and aquatic root structures. Each plate illustrates the full plant alongside detailed studies of roots, stems, flowers, and seed forms, highlighting the diagnostic features used by botanists. The compositions balance dense botanical information with generous white space, creating an elegant and calming visual effect. The soft greens and muted pinks lend themselves beautifully to interior display, whether framed individually or arranged as a cohesive grid. These prints suit classic interiors, country houses, libraries, or contemporary spaces seeking subtle, intellectual wall art with natural history appeal. Keywords: antique botanical print, English botany, Water-Dropwort, Oenanthe crocata, British wildflowers, Sowerby botanical, hand-colored engraving, botanical wall art, classic interior decor. Condition report: Very good antique condition. Light, even age toning consistent with early 20th-century paper. Minor scattered foxing or handling marks may be present. Colors remain clear and well preserved. Tips for framing: Frame with light oak, walnut, or black frames. Use off-white or pale cream mats to emphasize the botanical detail and maintain a refined, timeless presentation.
