About the Item

Great Water Horsetail, Variegated Horsetail and Blunt-topped Horsetail – Triptych, 1873 Description: This bold botanical triptych presents three impressive horsetail species, illustrated with strong vertical emphasis and crisp structural clarity. The Great Water Horsetail, Variegated Horsetail, and Blunt-topped Horsetail are shown with their characteristic segmented stems and distinctive growth habits, creating a powerful and rhythmic composition when displayed together. The repetition of upright forms gives the set an almost architectural quality, making it particularly effective as a statement wall piece. The engravings were published in 1873 as part of Anne Pratt’s influential botanical works, admired for their precise engraving, subtle hand colouring, and clear presentation of plant structure. Horsetails were of special interest in Victorian botany due to their ancient lineage and unusual form, and these illustrations capture their character with confidence and restraint. The restrained green tones against warm, lightly toned paper enhance the graphic quality of the plants while maintaining a calm, balanced aesthetic. As a ready-made triptych, this set is especially appealing to interior designers seeking botanical artwork with strong vertical lines and sculptural presence. It works exceptionally well in modern interiors, stairwells, hallways, or studies, either as a focal display or as part of a curated natural-history 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 emphasise the architectural strength of the stems. Technique: Hand-colored engraving Maker: Anne Pratt, England, published 1873
