About the Item
Title: Hand-Colored Botanical Engravings of Thick-Leaved, English, and Biting Stone-Crops, 1902
Description:
This beautiful trio of hand-colored botanical engravings from 1902 portrays three species of the hardy and decorative *Sedum* genus, commonly known as Stone-crops. The plates feature *Sedum dasyphyllum* (Thick-leaved Stone-crop), *Sedum anglicum* (English Stone-crop), and *Sedum acre* (Biting Stone-crop). Each plate captures the unique form and character of these low-growing succulents, beloved for their ability to thrive on walls, rocks, and dry ground.
The first composition, Thick-leaved Stone-crop, shows a charming cluster of tiny, fleshy, rounded leaves in soft tones of green and lilac, with fine pink star-like blossoms delicately drawn above. The central plate, English Stone-crop, depicts a similar creeping species, distinguished by tighter, more upright clusters and pale pink flowers, beautifully rendered with fine engraved lines and light watercolor tinting. The final image, Biting Stone-crop, stands out with its bright yellow, five-petaled blooms and vibrant green leaves, an emblematic species of old stone walls and sunlit meadows. The three prints together form a harmonious progression of color from pale lilac to golden yellow, reflecting the diversity of the *Sedum* family.
Each engraving is executed with remarkable precision and clarity, typical of early 20th-century English botanical illustration. The hand-applied color enhances the natural texture and luminosity of the plants, making these works both scientifically informative and visually refined.
Condition report: Excellent for age. Very mild toning in the margins and occasional faint specks consistent with age. Strong plate impressions with clean edges and generous borders preserved.
Framing tips: These three plates create a perfectly balanced triptych when framed together in natural oak, light gold, or white frames. Soft ivory or sage green mounts complement the pastel hues of the plants and flowers. Ideal for display in a sunroom, kitchen, or study, they bring a sense of botanical serenity and classic charm to any interior.
