About the Item
"Victorian Botanical Splendor: A Collection from Edward Step's Horticultural Compendium"
Three prints showing the wider array of botanical illustrations from Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse."
This "Victorian Botanical Splendor," is a magnificent print collection derived from the distinguished work of Edward Step. Published in the zenith of the Victorian era's fascination with the natural world, "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse" (1896) was a definitive horticultural reference, replete with vivid chromolithographs that remain strikingly vibrant to this day.
1. Broad-Petaled Crane's Bill (Geranium ibericum var. platypetalum): Distinguished by its sumptuous maroon petals and robust foliage, this print captures the essence of Geranium's timeless appeal.
2. Garden Flax (Linum grandiflorum): The Garden Flax is portrayed in its true splendor, with its delicate flowers and slender stems that have graced gardens for centuries.
3. Hollyhock (Althaea rosea): This illustration features the stately Hollyhock, whose towering blooms are a celebration of summer's bountiful beauty.
These additional prints illuminate the collection, with each plate meticulously crafted through the process of chromolithography—a printing technique that brought the lush textures and hues of these flowers to life with astonishing clarity and color fidelity.
The complete set of prints serves as a homage to the enchantment of 19th-century garden flora, an era when botanical illustration was not only an art form but also a critical component of scientific study. These prints, set against a crisp white border, offer a rare opportunity to acquire authentic pieces of botanical art that are as historically significant as they are visually splendid.
"Victorian Botanical Splendor" is more than a collection; it is an invitation to traverse time and experience the rich tapestry of Victorian botanical discovery—a journey of color, elegance, and history that will grace any collection with its presence.
