About the Item

Corn Horsetail, Rough Horsetail and Marsh Horsetail – Botanical Triptych, 1873 This striking botanical triptych presents three classic horsetail species, illustrated with clarity, structure, and strong visual rhythm. The plates show the distinctive segmented stems and cone-like reproductive forms characteristic of horsetails, rendered with precision and subtle hand coloring. Displayed together, the trio creates a highly architectural composition, with vertical emphasis and repeating linear forms that give the set exceptional decorative impact. The prints were published in 1873 as part of Anne Pratt’s influential botanical works, widely admired in the Victorian era for their combination of scientific accuracy and visual elegance. Horsetails held particular fascination in 19th-century botany due to their ancient lineage and unusual structure, and these illustrations clearly convey both their botanical importance and graphic appeal. The restrained green palette, combined with the clean cream background, allows the forms to stand out while remaining calm and balanced. As a ready-made triptych, this set is especially attractive for interior designers seeking a bold yet refined botanical statement. It works exceptionally well in contemporary interiors, studies, libraries, or natural-history-inspired spaces, either as a focal display or as part of a curated gallery wall. Condition report: Moderate age toning with light scattered foxing, consistent with age; overall well preserved with clear impressions. Framing tips: Use matching mats in warm ivory or pale stone. Frames in dark walnut, black-stained wood, or slim antique-gold profiles will emphasize the strong vertical lines and architectural character. Technique: Hand-colored engraving Maker: Anne Pratt, England, published 1873
