About the Item

Common Club Moss, Alpine Club Moss and Fir Club Moss – Botanical Triptych, 1873 This distinctive botanical triptych presents three classic club moss species, illustrated with clarity and careful attention to structure. The plates depict the Common Club Moss, Alpine Club Moss, and Fir Club Moss, all characterised by low-growing, branching forms and finely textured foliage. When displayed together, the three prints create a unified composition with a gentle horizontal rhythm and a strong natural presence. Published in 1873 as part of Anne Pratt’s respected botanical works, these engravings reflect Victorian interest in ancient plant groups that predate flowering plants and true ferns. Club mosses were particularly valued for their unusual appearance and botanical significance, qualities that are clearly conveyed through precise engraving and subtle hand colouring. The restrained green palette and generous use of negative space give this triptych a calm, almost modern aesthetic despite its 19th-century origin. As a ready-made triptych, this set is especially appealing to collectors and interior designers looking for botanical artwork that feels slightly different from traditional fern imagery. It works well in studies, libraries, hallways, or contemporary interiors where quiet natural history subjects are appreciated. Condition report: Moderate age toning with light scattered foxing, consistent with age; images remain clear and visually balanced. Framing tips: Use matching mats in warm ivory, pale sand, or soft grey. Frames in light oak, natural maple, or slim dark-stained wood will complement the fine branching forms. Technique: Hand-colored engraving Maker: Anne Pratt, England, published 1873
