VINTAGE BOTANICAL FRAMED ART PRINT The Lily Of The Valley (Convallaria Majalis). 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: …Amongst those, however, which are distinguished for timid loveliness & delicate odour, it must be confessed: ‘No flower amid the garden fairer grows Than the sweet lily of the lowly vale’… Reproduced from an antique book illustration, respectfully & lovingly restored & enhanced digitally, to remove the non-artistic blemishes & colour fading Available as FRAMED or FRAMED + MOUNTED A3 print (29.7cm x 42cm) Overall A3 frame size: 45cm x 32cm x 1.5cm (17.7x 12.7 x 0.5).
