Bilder Carl Axel Magnus Lindman (1856–1928) – Set of 4: Wild Roses, including Sweet Briar and Cinnamon Rose – Chromolithograph (Circa 1905)

Beskrivning

This set of four detailed botanical prints illustrates various species and forms of Wild Roses (Rosa genus) native to the Nordic region. The illustrations depict the plants in bloom, highlighting their typically pink or red flowers, distinct foliage, and thorny stems. Species shown include the Sweet Briar (Rosa rubiginosa) and the Cinnamon Rose (Rosa cinnamomea), along with their rose hips and detailed botanical sections. The prints originated from the acclaimed publication Bilder ur Nordens Flora (Pictures of Northern Flora), a pivotal turn-of-the-century reference work focused on the flora of Scandinavia.

Carl Axel Magnus Lindman was a Swedish botanist, professor, and botanical illustrator known for his significant contributions to the documentation of Nordic plant life. He held a professorship at the Swedish Museum of Natural History (Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet) in Stockholm. His magnum opus, Bilder ur Nordens Flora, published between 1901 and 1905, was designed to be both scientifically accurate and accessible to the public. It remains a definitive and aesthetically influential work in European botanical illustration.
