About the Item

Antique Oats and Wild Grasses Prints, Botanical Lithographs, 1852 This elegant three-plate set illustrates oats and related grasses from Carl Gustav Calwer’s agricultural atlas, published in Stuttgart in 1852. The plates show delicate panicles and branching forms, capturing the lightness and movement of these crops with remarkable sensitivity. Unlike denser cereal ears, these grasses are depicted with airy spacing and fine linear detail, giving the compositions a rhythmic and almost calligraphic quality. The soft hand coloring reinforces their natural grace and makes the set particularly appealing for modern and Scandinavian-style interiors. Originally intended for agricultural instruction, the plates now function beautifully as decorative works, combining scientific accuracy with visual harmony. Grouped together, they form a calm, cohesive ensemble that works especially well in living spaces, hallways, or offices. Condition report: Overall light to moderate toning with scattered foxing. Margins show minor wear. Colors remain subtle and intact. Framing tips: Hang as a horizontal row of three or a vertical column. Pale wood frames and light linen mats complement the delicate lines. Technique: Hand-colored lithograph Maker: Carl Gustav Calwer, Stuttgart, 1852
