About the Item

Antique Wheat and Rye Botanical Prints, Agricultural Study, Germany 1852 This refined set of two original hand-colored lithographs depicts wheat and rye varieties as illustrated in Landwirthschaftliche und technische Pflanzenkunde by Carl Gustav Calwer, published in Stuttgart in 1852 by Krais Hoffmann. The plates originate from Volume I, Deutschlands Feld- und Gartengewächse, and focus on economically important cereal crops fundamental to 19th-century European agriculture. Rendered with scientific precision, the ears are shown in multiple forms and stages, emphasizing structural differences essential for identification and cultivation. The restrained palette of soft ochres, pale blues, and warm straw tones gives the images a calm, architectural quality that feels surprisingly modern. These prints bridge agricultural science and decorative design. They are equally suitable for contemporary interiors, studies, libraries, or educational environments, where their vertical rhythm and clarity create a balanced visual presence. As a matched pair, the plates offer a cohesive and historically grounded view of cereal cultivation during a formative period of agronomic research. Condition report: Moderate age-related toning with light foxing, mainly in margins. Hand coloring remains clear and even. From a bound volume. Framing tips: Frame as a vertical pair with generous off-white mats. Natural oak, ash, or matte black frames enhance the graphic quality. Technique: Hand-colored lithograph Maker: Carl Gustav Calwer, Stuttgart, 1852
