About the Item

Antique Wheat and Barley Botanical Plates – Agricultural Crops, Calwer 1852 This refined group of three original hand-colored lithographs illustrates wheat and barley varieties from Carl Gustav Calwer’s agricultural atlas, published in Stuttgart in 1852. The plates focus on cereal ears and grain structure, emphasizing botanical distinctions crucial to 19th-century farming and crop selection. The compositions are elegant and rhythmic, with repeated vertical forms that create a calm, almost minimalist visual effect. Fine lines and soft coloring highlight the structure of each ear without excess detail, making the images surprisingly modern in appearance. These plates are especially attractive for contemporary interiors, architectural spaces, or educational settings. They bridge science and design, offering historical depth while remaining visually understated. Grouped together, the plates form a strong decorative set with excellent balance and consistency. Condition report: Even overall toning with minor spotting. Margins show light wear. Good clarity and well-preserved coloring. Framing tips: Frame individually and hang as a triptych. Natural wood or matte black frames with generous white mats enhance their verticality. Technique: Hand-colored lithograph Maker: Carl Gustav Calwer, Stuttgart, 1852
