About the Item

Antique British Botanical Prints, Umbellifers Set of Four, Hand-Colored c.1800 This attractive set 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 classic work of James Sowerby and J.E. Sowerby, whose plates remain benchmarks for accuracy and visual clarity in British botanical art. This elegant set of four hand-colored botanical engravings depicts notable members of the Umbelliferae (Apiaceae) family, celebrated for their architectural forms, medicinal associations, and culinary history. The plates illustrate Crithmum maritimum (Rock Samphire), Angelica sylvestris (Wild Angelica), Angelica archangelica (Garden Angelica), and Peucedanum officinale (Sea Hog’s Fennel), all rendered with scientific precision and refined color typical of late 18th–early 19th century British botanical publications. Each plate presents the plant in full growth, accompanied by detailed studies of flowers, seeds, and root structures. The combination of pale greens, soft yellows, and restrained line work gives the set a calm, harmonious visual rhythm, making it particularly suitable for kitchen interiors, libraries, apothecary-inspired spaces, or classic country-house settings. Grouped together, these prints form a coherent botanical narrative focused on coastal and medicinal plants historically valued for food preservation, herbal remedies, and maritime life. Originally issued as individual plates, this curated set has been carefully assembled for decorative impact while retaining its scholarly character. Displayed as a group, the prints offer both visual balance and historical depth, appealing to collectors of antique natural history, interior designers seeking understated elegance, and buyers drawn to the intersection of science and art. Condition Report All four plates are in good antique condition. Light age-related toning and minor scattered spotting consistent with age. Trimmed margins from bound volumes. Clean impressions with clear hand coloring. Framing Tips These prints work beautifully framed as a group in simple light oak or walnut frames with off-white or soft cream mats. For a more contemporary interior, consider thin black frames with generous matting to emphasize the delicacy of the engravings. Technique: Copper engraving with original hand coloring Maker: British botanical engraver, England, circa 1902

Antique English Botanical Prints – Elegant British Wildflowers, Sowerby c.1902
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique English Botanical Prints – British Wildflowers for Elegant Interiors c.1902 This elegant group of six original hand-colored botanical plates originates from English Botany; or, Coloured Figures of British Plants, Third Edition, Volume IV, edited by John T. Boswell Syme and published in London by George Bell & Sons in 1902. The illustrations are based on the celebrated work of James Sowerby and J.E. Sowerby, whose plates are considered among the most accurate and visually refined records of British flora. The selection illustrates a harmonious group of native British plants, each shown with scientific precision and subtle coloring. Included are the Common Earth-nut (Bunium flexuosum), also known as Pig-nut, a hedgerow plant once valued for its edible underground tuber. Two related meadow species appear: Common Burnet Saxifrage (Pimpinella saxifraga) and Greater Burnet Saxifrage (Pimpinella magna), both historically associated with herbal remedies and grazing land. Aquatic and riverside flora are represented by Great Water-Parsnip (Sium latifolium) and Narrow-leaved Water-Parsnip (Sium angustifolium), commonly referred to simply as Water Parsnip. Completing the group is Perfoliate Hare’s-ear (Bupleurum rotundifolium), a distinctive species admired for its round, clasping leaves and architectural form. Each plate presents a full botanical specimen alongside detailed studies of flowers, seeds, and root structures, reflecting the scientific and artistic standards of late 19th- and early 20th-century botanical publishing. The calm palette, fine line work, and ample margins make these prints particularly attractive for interior decoration, fitting seamlessly into classic, contemporary, or nature-inspired spaces.
