Taken from "The Book of Practical Botany in Word and Image" published in 1886, this Victorian engraving is a true treasure of natural history. With its copyright expired, this artwork has been digitally restored to preserve its original charm. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the Lychnis or Catchfly Plant come to life in this vertical cut-out image. The exoticism and elegance of this floral illustration transport us back to the Victorian era, where botany was celebrated as an art form. Each delicate petal, stem, and leaf is meticulously hand-colored, adding depth and dimension to the design. This print not only captures the beauty found in nature but also serves as a valuable educational resource. Its ornate diagram provides insight into the anatomy of this uncultivated tropical flower while showcasing its unique characteristics.

Whether admired for its aesthetic appeal or studied for scientific purposes, this antique engraving offers a glimpse into 19th-century botanical exploration. It is a testament to both human curiosity about the natural world and our appreciation for beauty found within it.
