About the Item
The image displays a collection of three chromolithographs depicting various plant species. These illustrations are characterized by their botanical accuracy and aesthetic appeal, typical of late 19th-century natural history publications.
Each plate is labeled with the plant's scientific name, showcasing the diversity of flora found within the United States. The plants are rendered with great detail, highlighting their unique characteristics such as leaf shape, flower structure, and root systems. These chromolithographs likely served both an educational purpose for those interested in botany and horticulture, as well as an ornamental one, as they would have been quite decorative when framed or displayed in a book.
The artwork reflects the meticulous work of Thomas Meehan, and the images were published by L.Prang and Company in Boston, known for their exquisite chromolithographic work in the 19th century. The book from which these plates come, "The Native Flowers and Ferns of the United States in Their Botanical, Horticultural, and Popular Aspects," serves as a testament to the rich botanical heritage of the United States and the period's appreciation for natural sciences.
The flowers or plants are:
1. **Cuphea Viscosissima** - Often known as the "Blue Waxweed," this plant is notable for its sticky stems and tubular pink flowers.
2. **Thalictrum Dioicum** - Commonly referred to as the "Early Meadow-rue," recognized by its delicate, lacy leaves and airy clusters of flowers.
3. **Anemone Patens** - Also called the "Pasque Flower," it is distinguished by its purple flowers and feathery seed heads.
These names add to the educational value of the illustrations, providing insight into the flora diversity of the United States during the period in which Thomas Meehan was active. Such illustrations would have been invaluable for botanical study and for those interested in horticulture, as well as being aesthetically pleasing for ornamental display.
