Rehmannia Angulata
From Flora & Sylva – A Monthly Review
William Robinson, Published 1903–1905

A beautiful original botanical chromolithograph depicting Rehmannia angulata, reproduced from William Robinson’s distinguished Flora & Sylva – A Monthly Review, published between 1903 and 1905. Widely regarded as one of the finest horticultural publications of the Edwardian era, Flora & Sylva combined expert botanical scholarship with illustrations of outstanding artistic quality, making its plates highly desirable among collectors and garden enthusiasts.

This elegant composition captures the graceful habit of Rehmannia angulata, with its pendulous tubular blossoms delicately shaded in soft rose-pink and deeper magenta tones. The flowers hang naturally from slender stems above broad, textured foliage, while the artist’s meticulous attention to colour, form, and structure conveys both the ornamental beauty and botanical character of the species. The uncluttered background allows the dramatic floral display to take centre stage, emphasising the plant’s refined elegance.

Printed using the sophisticated chromolithographic process, the work faithfully reproduces the richness and subtle tonal variation of the original illustration. Robinson’s Flora & Sylva documented many newly introduced and exotic ornamental plants of the period, presenting them through illustrations that continue to be admired for their scientific precision and decorative appeal.

Presented within a clean mount and ready for framing or display, this original print would make a distinguished addition to any collection of antique botanical illustrations or provide an elegant focal point in a home, library, or garden room.

In good overall condition with strong original colour and light age-related toning consistent with its age.
