EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Alpine Blue Sow Thistle, a stunning flower that graces the alpine meadows of Europe. The lithograph, created by an anonymous German artist in the 19th century, is part of a private collection and was originally featured in Anton Hartinger's "Atlas of the Alpine flora" published between 1881 and 1884. The delicate petals of this Mulgedium alpinum (also known as Cicerbita alpina) are beautifully captured in vibrant colors through the lithographic technique. This illustration serves as a testament to both botanical artistry and scientific documentation during that era. The Alpen-Milchlattich, as it is called in German, belongs to the asteraceae family and can be found among other herbs dotting the picturesque landscapes. Its presence adds a touch of elegance to its surroundings with its striking blue hues contrasting against lush greenery. Highlighted within this image are not only the intricate details of this particular species but also its classification within botany - eudicots, asterales, cichorieae. Such information provides valuable insights into our understanding of plant taxonomy and evolution. As we admire this exquisite depiction from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate both nature's beauty and mankind's dedication to capturing it for generations to come.
