Description: 1894 Authentic Wildflower Stone ChromolithographMarsh Hedge Nettle and Bouncing BetSatisfaction Guaranteed This plate features Stachys Palustris (Marsh Hedge Nettle) and Saponaria Officinalis (Bouncing Bet). This pair of illustrations is printed on medium-weight paper. The sheet size is just over 11.5" x 8", and the area within the red border of each of the two pictures is 4" x 6.25", printed with margins of 1/2" - 1.25" to allow easy matting and framing--together or separately.On the reverse of the sheet are the common and scientific names, botanical information about the plants--including some allegorical prose, and more specifics about the flowers.The print is a true stone chromolithograph with the distinctive saturated color and depth. It is an attractive work, with special attention to detail and accurate hue.This is a bookplate from the 1894 first edition of: "Wild Flowers of America" prepared by Botanical Fine Art Weekly. "Flowers of Every State in the American Union by a special corps of Artists from the United States and Europe."I've matted and framed several of these, and they look very nice. Please check my store for other similar botanical prints perfect for framing or incorporating into other projects.Below is a cropped view of the sheet--without full margins. Close-up Detail: Below: The reverse of the plate.Above: From the Title Page of: Wild Flowers of America Condition: Excellent: As shown, with no tears or marks on the printed portion.Please note: There is a (stabilized by tape on the reverse) 1/8" tear in the lower margin of the sheet, at the center edge of the paper. This tear does not afect the flower image (it remains well outside of--and does not reach--the red border around the hedge-nettle). The tear is a full 1" outside the red border. If you plan to mat and frame this print to include both the illustration and the label underneath, it will not affect the finished product. Please keep this in mind and handle carefully; the print is over 125 years old and fragile.Satisfaction Guaranteed or RETURN for any reason within 14 days for a prompt refund.Comes from a smoke-free home.
