Item Details

Set of 27 Botanical Watercolours of North American Canadian Flowers North American Canadian or English School, Circa 1895. Watercolour on paper, most inscribed with species names. Mounted in 24 matching frames. A fine and extensive collection of late 19th-century botanical watercolours depicting a rich variety of North American Canadian flowering plants. Executed in circa 1895, these delicate studies capture the diversity and character of native species with remarkable precision and vitality. Each composition is rendered with sensitivity to both botanical accuracy and aesthetic balance, perhaps suggesting the work of a trained botanical artist working within the Victorian tradition of natural observation. The group includes depictions of lilies, zinnias, coneflowers, wild violets, and other species typical of North American Canadian flora. Several works are neatly inscribed in ink with both common and Latin names, attesting to a scientific awareness as well as an artistic eye. The watercolours vary from individually framed specimens to sheets combining multiple blooms—each showing a refined control of colour and wash, and an attention to the structure and subtle gradation of petals and leaves. Together, the set provides an unusually comprehensive survey of late-19th-century botanical study, likely produced as part of a personal archive or teaching collection. Their 24 uniform frames, with archival mounts, lend a cohesive presentation ideal for display as a complete series or in smaller groupings. Measurements are taken from the frame. This elegant ensemble embodies the intersection of art and science that defined the Victorian fascination with the natural world — a testament to both the painter’s eye and the collector’s appreciation for botanical beauty.
