Professionally Mounted Original Antique (c1883) Hand Coloured Plate - Trollius europaeus.

This lovely and unique illustration produced by James Sowerby is published on cream-colored medium weight high quality paper. It is blank on the reverse & is in very good condition for it's age. There is a small light brown mark which is visible in the images...not bad; synonymous with being very old. 

The plate has been professionally hinged onto a specially cut high quality warm white mat, and mounted onto a foam core backing. The overall mount is ready to frame, & has been deliberately sized to suit a standard frame, should you wish to buy one 'off the shelf' rather than have the print professionally framed.  

These prints are wonderful on their own, or framed and hung together as a set.

Measurements:

Approximate actual print size - 175 x 260mm

Mat window size - 153 x 235mm

Overall mat size 28 x 35.5cm - to suit 11 x 14" standard frames. 

These Sowerby plates have come from a dis-bound book titled English Botany or, Coloured Figures of British Plants. This was a major publication of British plants comprising a 36 volume set, issued in 267 monthly parts over 23 years from 1791 to 1814. The work was originally illustrated and published by the botanical illustrator and natural historian, James Sowerby, and the descriptions were supplied by the founder of the Linen Society founder, Sir James Smith, who for the the first four volumes made a request to remain anonymous on the title. However in later editions the plates were altered by Sowerby's son (James de Carle Sowerby), and from the third edition (which these plates are from, published in 1883), John Boswell has edited the text.

The popularity of these prints by Sowerby has made them increasingly scarce. These prints are now more than 130 years old.

Please note that the prints on offer are genuine vintage or antique, & therefore being offered as 'one off's'. You will not find them readily available to buy, or on display in someone else home. This makes them special, but the downside is if you miss out on one that you have your eye on I may not be able to source it again for you. If you would like a bigger set, please contact me as I may have more available in the collection.

Love it
Size: 11, Color: Black
Almost the perfect travel shoe. Goes well with both casual and formal attire. Walked like a million steps with this in Japan, SEA, etc. only thing it probably can't do is probably hiking. Otherwise the leather feels really high quality, and the shoe slips on without much fuss. I'd describe the style as: a dressed-up Converse

Good Quality
Size: 11, Color: White
Nice looking shoe. Slides on easy. My only feedback would be I wish the toe box was a bit wider and the heel a bit higher. It's a good shoe overall. I would buy again.

Great shoe. Slip on is easy and the shoes are comfortable and classy. Ten months later and the bottom has holes and didn’t last.
