About the Item

Wood Horsetail, Branched Horsetail and Rough Horsetail – Botanical Triptych, 1873 Description: This striking botanical triptych presents three closely related horsetail species, illustrated with clarity, repetition, and strong vertical rhythm. The Wood Horsetail, Branched Horsetail, and Rough Horsetail are shown with their characteristic segmented stems and distinctive branching patterns, creating a visually cohesive and architectural composition when displayed together. The repetition of upright forms gives the set a strong graphic presence, while subtle variations in thickness and branching add visual interest and balance. The engravings were published in 1873 as part of Anne Pratt’s influential botanical works, admired in the Victorian period for their accuracy, refined engraving, and accessible presentation of British plant life. Horsetails were of particular fascination to 19th-century botanists because of their ancient lineage and unusual structure, and these illustrations capture both their scientific importance and decorative appeal. The restrained green palette, set against warm cream paper, enhances the clean, linear quality of the plants and allows the triptych to integrate easily into both classic and contemporary interiors. As a ready-made triptych, this set is especially appealing to interior designers seeking botanical artwork with strong vertical emphasis and sculptural character. It works beautifully in stairwells, hallways, studies, or modern interiors where architectural natural forms are appreciated. 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 or soft parchment. Frames in dark walnut, black-stained wood, or slim antique-gold profiles will emphasise the linear structure and architectural quality. Technique: Hand-colored engraving Maker: Anne Pratt, England, published 1873
