1881 German Hand-Colored Statice Botanical Lithograph

A delicate 1881 German botanical study from Gartenflora depicting Statice leptoloba Regel in full bloom. The hand-colored lithograph captures slender branching stems, soft pink blossoms, and green basal leaves with meticulous detail, accompanied by individual botanical studies and the original plate number "Taf. 1045" at upper right. The species name appears in elegant script below the illustration.

Published shortly after botanist Eduard August von Regel described the species, this antique print shows appropriate toning, spotting, and age-related patina. Newly presented in a substantial gilt frame with generous cream matting, ready to anchor a gallery wall or cabinet of curiosities.
