The plates illustrate a range of herbaceous plants alongside detailed mushroom studies, reflecting the period’s close connection between botany, medicine, and natural history. The herb plates present upright, rhythmic plant forms, while the mushroom plates focus on structure, texture, and variation, from caps and stems to cross-sections. This contrast creates a visually engaging set that appeals strongly to collectors. These plates work beautifully in libraries, studies, or curated gallery walls focused on science and nature. Condition report Moderate toning with foxing and light staining consistent with age. Margins show light wear. Hand coloring remains well defined. Visible plate marks. Framing tips Frame individually and hang as a trio. Charcoal, dark olive, or antique gold frames work particularly well. Technique: Hand-colored lithograph Maker: Carl Gustav Calwer, Stuttgart, 1852 See less
