Cypripedium acaule Common names: Pink Lady’s Slipper Moccasin Flower Plate 2938

A museum-quality botanical print depicting Cypripedium acaule, the Pink Lady's Slipper, from Curtis's Botanical Magazine, Plate 2938 (October 1, 1830). This hand-colored engraving captures the distinctive morphology of this native North American orchid: the characteristic pink inflated pouch with slit opening, two broad diagnostic basal leaves, and green dorsal sepal with lateral petals rendered in Curtis's signature naturalistic style. The lower right corner features detailed dissected flower parts matching the original plate composition. An authentic period illustration, ideal for botanical enthusiasts, herbalists, and collectors of vintage scientific art.
