Plate 270 presents Gasteria verrucosa, with its mottled, fleshy leaves and tubular red-green flowers. Plate 271 illustrates the Tree Aloe (Aloe arborescens), a dramatic species with spiny foliage and brilliant scarlet flower spikes. Plate 272 depicts Silk Grass (Yucca filamentosa), highlighting its sword-like leaves and large creamy-white blossoms. These illustrations combine scientific precision with artistic beauty, capturing plants popular in late-Victorian horticulture for their exotic appearance and resilience. Ideal for framing as a set, they reflect the fascination with succulents and ornamental plants during the 19th century. Condition: Very good with only light age toning near edges, colors remain vivid and well preserved. Does not come with frame, but as three sheets only. Framing tips: This trio works beautifully together in natural wood frames with off-white or pale green mounts, enhancing the bold reds and greens of the illustrations. Technique: Chromolithograph Maker: Edward Step, London, 1897 See less
