Joseph Paxton 1837 Original Hand Colored Botanical Plate Framed

Discover the beauty of early Victorian botanical illustration with this original hand-colored botanical plate depicting Muraltia Stipulacea and Muraltia Heisteria, published in London in August 1837 for Joseph Paxton's celebrated Magazine of Botany. Illustrated by Miss Morris, this authentic botanical print combines scientific accuracy with delicate hand-applied watercolor, reflecting the exceptional craftsmanship that made Paxton's publication one of the finest horticultural works of the 19th century. Professionally matted and framed in a later silver-tone frame with purple matting, the print retains its original publication date and botanical inscriptions and bears a Ferdinand Roten Galleries label identifying it as an original colored plate from the 1837–1847 series. A wonderful addition to collections of antique botanical prints, Victorian natural history, garden décor, or early scientific illustration. Good antique condition with age-related toning, scattered foxing, and minor wear consistent with nearly two centuries of age.
