About the Item

Oblong Woodsia, Marsh Fern and Mountain Fern – Botanical Triptych, 1873 This refined triptych brings together three distinct British fern species, each illustrated with clarity and botanical precision, and combined here as a visually harmonious wall set. From left to right, the plates depict the Oblong Woodsia (with an additional round-leaved woodsia form shown for comparison), the elegant and softly spreading Marsh Fern, and the bold, upright Mountain Fern with its strong central structure. Together, the trio creates a natural progression in form and density, offering both contrast and balance when displayed side by side. The prints were published in 1873 as part of Anne Pratt’s celebrated botanical works, renowned for their accuracy, accessibility, and refined visual presentation. Pratt’s illustrations were widely admired in the Victorian era for combining scientific observation with decorative appeal, and these plates exemplify that approach through careful engraving, subtle hand-coloring, and clear plant morphology. The restrained green palette against warm, lightly toned paper gives the set a timeless quality that works beautifully in both period and contemporary interiors. As a ready-made triptych, this set is especially attractive for interior designers and collectors seeking a cohesive botanical statement. It is well suited for display above a sofa or sideboard, or as a focal point within a curated gallery wall, offering both decorative elegance and historical depth. Condition report: Moderate age toning with scattered light foxing, consistent with age; images remain clear and visually strong. Framing tips: Use matching mats in warm ivory or soft parchment tones. Frames in natural oak, walnut, or slim antique-gold profiles will enhance the green hues without overpowering the prints. Technique: Hand-colored engraving Maker: Anne Pratt, England, published 1873
