The plates show subtle differences in grain structure and ear formation, reflecting the scientific rigor of mid-19th-century agricultural research. Designed for instruction and comparison, these images exemplify the educational mission of Calwer’s work. Today, their restrained palette and repetitive forms give them a quiet elegance that suits modern interiors, studies, or libraries. This set will appeal particularly to collectors of scientific illustration, agricultural history, or early applied botany. Condition report Noticeable age toning, typical for the series. Minor foxing and edge wear. Structurally sound. Framing tips Use slim frames and neutral mats. Consider floating mounts to show deckled edges and emphasize authenticity. Technique: Hand-colored lithograph Maker: Carl Gustav Calwer, Stuttgart, 1852 See less
