About the Item
Antique Herbs and Mushrooms Botanical Prints, Natural History Set, 1852
Description
This exceptional three-plate set combines aromatic herbs and fungi, drawn from Landwirthschaftliche und technische Pflanzenkunde by Carl Gustav Calwer, published in Stuttgart in 1852. The plates illustrate a range of herbaceous plants alongside detailed mushroom studies, reflecting the period’s close connection between botany, medicine, and natural history.
The herb plates present upright, rhythmic plant forms, while the mushroom plates focus on structure, texture, and variation, from caps and stems to cross-sections. This contrast creates a visually engaging set that appeals strongly to collectors.
These plates work beautifully in libraries, studies, or curated gallery walls focused on science and nature.
