The plate presents the plant with leaves, tassel, and vividly colored ear, accompanied by anatomical details. The strong vertical composition and deep red kernels make this one of the most visually powerful plates in the series. It reflects the growing agricultural importance of maize in 19th-century Europe and demonstrates Calwer’s commitment to clarity and instructional value. Today, this print functions as an exceptional standalone decorative piece, ideal for kitchens, dining areas, or farm-inspired interiors. Its bold color and confident composition set it apart from the more restrained cereal studies. Condition report: Noticeable age toning with some foxing and minor edge wear. Strong original hand coloring, especially in the ear of corn. Framing tips: Best framed singly with a wide neutral mat. Dark wood or black frames emphasize the dramatic central form. Technique: Hand-colored lithograph Maker: Carl Gustav Calwer, Stuttgart, 1852 See less
