VINTAGE BOTANICAL ART PRINT The Hare-Bell & Grass (Campanula Rotundifolia. Gramen.) From the book The Moral of Flowers, 1833 (engravings by William Clark, formerly draughts-man & engraver to the London Horticultural Society, words & poetry by Rebecca Hey). An illustration from an early 19th century book - a lovely example from the time when interests in botany, science & natural history in general came beautifully together with poetry, literature & visual arts, expressing the newly realised resonance with the emotional & physical sides of human nature. The book was very popular in its time, with each gorgeous plant image accompanied by selected lines from acclaimed poets about each flower & Rebecca Hey’s own original prose & poetry: …As for man, his days are as grass : As a flower of the field so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, & it is gone ; & the place thereof shall know it no more… Reproduced from an antique book illustration, respectfully & lovingly restored & enhanced digitally, to remove the non-artistic blemishes & colour fading A3 print, 297mm x 420mm.
