Title: 1897 Botanical Prints – Jacob’s Ladder and Cup-and-Saucer Vine
Description: This pair of original 1897 botanical prints features Jacob’s ladder (Polemonium caeruleum) and cup-and-saucer vine (Cobaea scandens), published in Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse. These elegant illustrations reflect the meticulous artistry and scientific precision of the Victorian era, capturing the natural beauty of these two remarkable flowering plants. More details: 1. Jacob’s Ladder (Polemonium caeruleum) - Common names: charity plant, Greek valerian - Interesting fact: Known for its graceful clusters of blue, bell-shaped flowers and fern-like foliage, Jacob's Ladder thrives in cool, shaded gardens. Its name comes from the ladder-like arrangement of its leaves. 2. Cup-and-saucer vine (Cobaea scandens) - Common names: cathedral bells, Mexican ivy - Interesting fact: This fast-growing climber produces striking, bell-shaped flowers in shades of purple or white. Native to Mexico, it is a favorite for adorning trellises and walls, adding vertical elegance to gardens. These beautifully detailed botanical prints capture the delicate beauty of these climbing and perennial plants, showcasing their ornamental appeal and the artistry of Victorian botanical illustration. Perfect for framing, they make a timeless addition to any collection or decor. The Jacob’s ladder print showcases delicate clusters of blue and white bell-shaped flowers on slender stems with soft, fern-like green foliage, carefully rendered to highlight their texture and form. The cup-and-saucer vine is a striking contrast, with its vibrant, trumpet-shaped blooms in shades of crimson red and pale green, surrounded by lush, curling tendrils and bold leaves that emphasize its climbing nature.
Both prints remain in excellent condition with crisp lines and rich colors, beautifully preserved for over a century.
Perfect for framing, they bring a timeless botanical elegance to any space. These works are ideal for collectors of antique botanical art, gardeners, or enthusiasts of vintage decor, offering a glimpse into the artistic celebration of nature during the 19th century.
