About the Item
Antique Peas and Beans Botanical Prints, Legumes Study, Germany 1852
This attractive two-plate set illustrates peas and beans as documented in Landwirthschaftliche und technische Pflanzenkunde by Carl Gustav Calwer, published in Stuttgart in 1852. The plates present climbing plants with leaves, flowers, pods, and seeds, shown at different stages of development.
Calwer’s approach combines botanical accuracy with a strong sense of composition. The curling tendrils and hanging pods create elegant movement across the page, while the soft hand coloring emphasizes natural texture and form. These plates were originally intended for agricultural education, yet today they function beautifully as decorative works.
This set is particularly well suited for kitchen walls, dining spaces, or interiors focused on food provenance and sustainability. Together, the two plates form a balanced and historically grounded visual narrative of 19th-century legume cultivation.
