✨ Authentic Illustration from 1959 (66 years old) - Subject: Common Meadowsweet and Christophorine. 🌿 Format: 20 X 26 cm. 🌿 Edition: between 1956 and 1966. 🌿 Light cream cardboard, elegant and vintage. 🌿 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 features muted and nuanced colours, reminiscent of 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 presents two complete medicinal plants with their root systems. On the left, the common meadowsweet displays its finely divided leaves, clusters of small white flowers, and its characteristic rhizome. On the right, the Christophorine reveals its large compound leaves, clusters of purple berries, and its fibrous root system. 🌸 Secure shipping: Rigid protection to ensure condition upon arrival. 🌸 Bulk purchase: Possible discounts for the purchase of multiple plates.
