A pair of mid-19th century German botanical herbarium sheets, dating to approximately 1850, each preserving two pressed specimens from the Ranunculus (buttercup) family. The specimens are accompanied by handwritten annotations in German, likely recorded by the original collector or botanist.
One sheet features Ranunculus hederaceus (ivy-leaved crowfoot), while the other presents Ranunculus arvensis (corn buttercup or field buttercup), a species native to Europe and commonly found in cultivated fields and disturbed soils. Both sheets display two individual specimens per page, demonstrating the period’s methodical approach to plant preservation and documentation.
Subtle shadow impressions are visible on the facing pages, attesting to the age and authenticity of the collection. The sheets remain in good condition with expected wear consistent with their age.
