Vintage Botanical Prints – 73 in a series – Vintage Malua Rosea Print from Nederlandsch bloemwerk (1794)

Posted on January 17, 2022 by Douglas E. Welch

The image depicts a botanical illustration of a hollyhock plant, scientifically known as Alcea rosea, with the text Malua rosea a rubro written below it. The illustration features two large, open flowers with deep pink petals and lighter pink veins, attached to a green stem with several smaller buds. The leaves are a light blue-green color, and the stem is a vibrant green. At the bottom of the image, two insects are illustrated: a yellow and black striped beetle labeled 1 on the left and a similar beetle labeled 2 on the right. The background is a plain off-white color, and the image is framed by a thin black border. The overall style is reminiscent of historical botanical illustrations, with detailed and precise depictions of the plant and insects.
