Old illustration 1959 - Wood anemone. Natural flower plate.

Magnificent authentic print aged 66 years, not a simple reproduction: Wood Anemone. • Edition: between 1956 and 1966. • Size: 20 X 26 cm. • Light cardboard in elegant vintage cream white. • Condition: very good, with a very subtle deliberate vintage effect during printing. This illustration adopts the naturalistic style of botanical plates from the 18th to early 19th centuries, characterised by a precise and isolated representation of the plant. The drawing, with great scientific rigour, is balanced by an elegant and decorative composition, highlighting leaves, flowers, and stems in their various states. It reproduces muted and nuanced colours, close to watercolour, with a focus on readability, also in herbalism. This plate, dating from the mid-20th century, served as a medicinal advertising medium with the advertisement on the back. The illustration features a complete wood anemone with its deeply lobed leaves, delicate six-petalled white flowers, and root system. The plate also shows numbered botanical details at the bottom of the image, illustrating the different parts of the plant with remarkable scientific precision. • Find all my lithographs and prints in my shop. • Send me a message for any questions. • Fast delivery and careful packaging for a risk-free reception. • For bulk purchases, send me a message for a single shipping fee and to discuss a discount.
