About the Item
Antique Root and Medicinal Plant Prints, Botanical Studies, Germany 1852
Description
This refined three-plate set depicts root vegetables and medicinal plants from Carl Gustav Calwer’s agricultural atlas, published in Stuttgart in 1852. The plates include detailed renderings of carrot- and parsnip-like roots alongside flowering herbaceous plants valued for their practical and medicinal uses.
The compositions emphasize structure below and above ground, showing roots, stems, leaves, and blossoms with scientific clarity. These images reflect the 19th-century interest in applied botany, where agriculture, medicine, and natural history closely intersected.
Decoratively, the plates offer strong vertical forms balanced by delicate floral detail. They work well in studies, wellness interiors, kitchens, or curated gallery walls focused on natural history.
