This beautiful vintage (circa 1879) Hulme Print of Yellow Jasmine (Revolutum) will look stunning on your wall. This unframed U.K. piece of art is an authentic botanical print — approximately 140 years old — one to be treasured for generations to come.
The artist, Frederic Edward Hulme, was known as a teacher and an amateur botanist. Hulme became the drawing master at Marlborough College in 1870. While there he started work on his most famous work, Familiar Wild Flowers, which was issued in parts as not only did it contain a detailed description of each flower but also its medicinal uses and habitat. The major work was the botanical illustration by Hulme of each flower which was recreated as a color plate in each volume. In his lifetime, Hulme completed nine volumes which were published at intervals.
The print measures approximately 5 in x 7.5 in. on lightly toned* paper. The print will be accompanied by its original descriptive text and a copy of the title page of the work.
Condition: This print is in good condition on lightly toned to toned paper. Because these types of prints are antiques, you can expect them to have some imperfections due to age and handling. Please review the images carefully to assess the condition as some foxing**, toning*, and offset*** may be visible.
*Toning is the darkening of paper over time. Toning comes in varying degree, from creamy white to very tanned, and is very common in antique prints.
**Foxing is distinct darkening of the paper in small or large spots. Foxing can happen in one fair sized spot or it can be "freckled" all over the paper (and all possible combinations).
***Offset happens when the print has been in direct contact with a page of text for an extended period of time. Offset can be dark where the ink has smudged or transferred onto the print, or light when the acids in the ink have burned (toned) the facing print.
