In very fine gilt wood frames, this pair of antique botanical lithographs of Lady's Slipper orchids comes from the published series known as the “Orchid Album” by British artist John Nugent Fitch (1840-1927). The plates were published in several different volumes between 1872 and 1897. Fitch was a scholarly investigator of botanical knowledge and a member of the Linnaean Society of London. He delved into the details of taxonomy as seen in these fine examples of individual orchid species: Cypripedium Calurum and Cypripedium Melanopthalmum, commonly known as “Lady’s Slippers.” Hand colored in shades of green and purple within fine layered matting enhanced by hand painted filage in gold, blue and green. Good antique condition with light toning to the paper. Fantastic 20th century framing in very good condition.
