About the Item

European Quillwort, Creeping Pillwort and Shoreweed – Botanical Triptych, 1873 Description: This subtle and elegant botanical triptych presents three aquatic and semi-aquatic plant species, illustrated with clarity and restraint. The plates depict the European Quillwort, Creeping Pillwort, and Shoreweed, each characterised by low-growing forms and distinctive reproductive structures adapted to wet and marginal habitats. Displayed together, the three prints create a quiet, balanced composition with a refined natural rhythm and a strong sense of botanical cohesion. The engravings were published in 1873 as part of Anne Pratt’s respected botanical works, admired in the Victorian period for their ability to combine scientific accuracy with visual elegance. These lesser-known plant species fascinated 19th-century botanists due to their specialised environments and ancient lineage, and Pratt’s illustrations capture their form with precision and subtle hand colouring. The soft green tones and generous negative space give this triptych a light, contemporary feel despite its historical origin. As a ready-made triptych, this set is particularly appealing to collectors and interior designers seeking understated botanical imagery with a natural, almost minimalist character. It is well suited to studies, bathrooms, coastal interiors, or modern spaces where calm, organic subjects are preferred. Condition report: Moderate age toning with light scattered foxing, consistent with age; images remain clear and well preserved. Framing tips: Use matching mats in warm ivory, pale sand, or soft grey. Frames in light oak, natural ash, or slim painted frames will enhance the quiet, aquatic character. Technique: Hand-colored engraving Maker: Anne Pratt, England, published 1873
