EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed Victorian botanical illustration captures the delicate beauty of Eschscholtzia, commonly known as California Poppy. Printed in 1886, this rare and beautifully illustrated engraving showcases Plate 56 from "The Book of Practical Botany in Word and Image" (Lehrbuch der praktischen Pflanzenkunde in Wort und Bild). The copyright on this artwork has expired, allowing for its digital restoration. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the annual poppy plant against a clean white background. Each petal is meticulously hand-colored, showcasing the flower's stunning shades ranging from golden yellow to fiery orange. Surrounding the central poppy are other floral elements such as marigold, godetia, strawflower, and portulaca. This antique print not only serves as a decorative piece but also offers insight into botany during the 19th century. It highlights various design elements like flax seed and leaf patterns while providing a visual diagram of different plant stems. With its uncultivated charm and old-fashioned allure, this Victorian botanical illustration transports us back to an era when nature's wonders were captured with meticulous precision. A true testament to both artistry and scientific observation, this print is a treasure for collectors or anyone who appreciates the timeless beauty found within flora.
