This early Victorian botanical engraving originates from the 1830s to 1840s, created by engravers J. & J. Parkin. The artwork depicts a central dahlia flower in a dusty pink shade with hand-coloured green leaf details, presented within a cream-toned mount and a mid-toned natural wood frame showing a simple square profile. The paper sheet and mount exhibit light foxing consistent with antique age. The overall piece measures 39 cm high by 26.5 cm wide, with the picture area measuring 21.5 cm high by 13 cm wide. This framed wall art suits placement in an English Country House interior, particularly on a narrow wall space or hallway. The botanical theme coordinates with traditional living rooms, studies, or bedrooms, adding historical character and natural motifs to domestic settings.

FAQs

Victorian botanical engravings are detailed illustrations of flora created during the 19th century, typically produced using copper or steel plate printing techniques and often hand-coloured to document plant species accurately.

These works were printed on heavy rag or woven paper using metal engraving plates, followed by the application of watercolours or gouache by hand to render accurate botanical colours.

Authentic prints usually feature a visible plate mark impression around the image boundary, variations in tone from hand colouring, and natural age tone or foxing on original rag paper.

Botanical prints can be displayed as part of a gallery wall, mounted above a sideboard, or hung in a series along a hallway to add organic motifs and historical character to modern spaces.

Frame prints using acid-free mounting materials and UV-filtering glass, and hang them away from direct sunlight, damp areas, or fluctuating humidity to prevent paper deterioration.
