Antique 19th C Botanical Carl Gustav Jablonsky Paxillus Species Hand-Colored Lithograph.
Artist or Maker: Carl Gustav Jablonsky (attr.).
Medium: Hand-Colored Lithograph.
Date: 19th Century.
This antique botanical illustration, titled Paxillus (Taf. 28), showcases six distinctive species of the Paxillus genus: Paxillus rhodoxanthus, involutus, panuoides, atrotomentosus, tricholoma, and helomorphus. Rendered with fine precision and scientific clarity, each mushroom is shown from multiple angles to highlight gill structure, cap texture, and spore morphology. The warm, earthy palette—ranging from deep browns to golden yellows—is enhanced by meticulous hand-coloring, a hallmark of 19th-century naturalist printing.
As part of a larger mycological series, this plate exemplifies the blend of scientific taxonomy and artistic craftsmanship characteristic of the period.
Dimensions:
9.85" W x 12.60" H
25 cm x 32 cm
Acquired from an auction house in France in 2025.
