Plants and leaves were illustrated by means of lithography during the 1800’s. The lifelike illustrations provided detailed pictures of species that were newly crossbred, identified, cultivated for sale. As well as winners of gardening and horticultural competitions.
This collection of antique plant prints are domestic varieties while others are tropical species. Some of the prints are close ups of leaves while others show the entire specimen. We are pleased to offer these antique hand finished color lithographs of plants from the 1800’s. Published as magazines for people to learn about plants being discovered, cultivated and even available for sale from nurseries around the world.
Each of these antique prints are hand finished color lithographs from the 1800’s. As with all the prints sold at Anne Hall Antique Prints, almost everything dates from the late fifteen hundreds to about nineteen hundred. Almost everything is over 100 years old. These antique lithographs are a product of the incredible work of nineteenth century lithographers and printers. Printed from key stoned limestone plates for each and every color seen, known as lithographs, followed by hand finishing with watercolors.
