Diplotaxis tenuifolia

Narrow-leaved double seed

Original chromo-lithograph from 1886 (no reprint)




Thome: Flora of Germany, Austria and Switzerland 1886-1889

Sheet size: 21.5 x 14.5 cm
Over 100 years old and still in very good condition!

Chromolithographs or colored stone prints are old, colorful panels. Measured in terms of brilliance and luminosity, they surpass almost every modern print. Up to 21 colors were printed one on top of the other in a very complex printing process. This technique was developed at the beginning of the 20th century. At the end of the 19th century, offset printing was replaced by cheaper but poorer quality.

Framed under glass, these true works of art are an absolute eye-catcher for every plant lover and botanist.

The shipping is of course well and securely packed in a kink-proof shipping bag!
