Original Antique 19th C Hand Colored Lithograph Mushrooms Fungi Myxacium by Carl Gustav Jablonsky.
This antique scientific illustration, titled Myxacium (Taf. 34), features four species of the Myxacium genus: Myxacium collinítum, arvináceum, mucósum, and mucifluum. Rendered with exceptional precision, the lithograph emphasizes the glutinous texture and structural variations of these mushrooms. Richly hand-colored in amber, ochre, and earthy browns, each specimen is depicted with anatomical accuracy—highlighting gill orientation, cap surface, and microscopic spores. This 19th-century plate would have been part of a larger mycological atlas, serving both taxonomic and illustrative purposes for naturalists and botanists of the era. Artist or Maker: Carl Gustav Jablonsky (attr.). Dimensions: 25 cm x 32 cm. Medium: Hand-Colored Lithograph. Date: 19th Century.
Dimensions:
9.85" W x 12.60" H
25 cm x 32 cm
Acquired from an auction house in France in 2025.
