We were lucky enough to pick up a small, well-cared-for collection of 19th-century botanical fern prints. This particular plate is a faithful reproduction of a hand-coloured naturalist illustration by Edward Joseph Lowe, from his study of the British ferns and their varieties (mid-19th century). It shows two choice native varieties side by side — a forked form of the brittle bladder fern (Cystopteris fragilis var. furcans), with its lacy, finely divided frond, and a striking kidney-shaped form of the hart's-tongue (Scolopendrium vulgare var. reniforme), whose broad, undivided leaf makes a bold and beautiful contrast.

Lowe captured the botanical detail with remarkable skill, and while the work is more than 150 years old it still feels wonderfully modern. It brings a natural, timeless touch to your home and is an ideal choice for anyone who loves botanical illustration. It also sits beautifully alongside the other fern plates in our Vintage Art Collection. Please note: the original has been sold. This is a modern reprint on museum-quality, thick, and durable matte paper.
