Elegant 1839 lithograph of Camellia estherii by Mr.J.J.Jung. This artwork highlights the intricate layers of the creamy white blossom with subtle gray shading, set against dark glossy foliage. A perfect embodiment of 19th-century botanical refinement and grace. The detail you see in Mr.J.J. Jung’s work was achieved through lithography (printing from stone). Unlike earlier woodcuts, lithography allowed for microscopic detail. These artists had to be part-scientist; they often dissected the flowers to ensure the stamens, pistils, and leaf veins were anatomically perfect so that botanists could use the art to identify real plants in the field.

Prints with serious tactile weight and archival longevity, beautifully detailed with consistent colour and exceptional quality across all size formats.
