Lobelia cardinalis — Cardinal Flower Plate 1192

A striking botanical study of the cardinal flower in full bloom. This authentic early-1800s copperplate engraving captures the plant's distinctive vertical raceme of scarlet tubular flowers, each petal delicately flared. Long, lanceolate leaves alternate gracefully up the stem, rendered with botanical precision. Hand-colored in rich, saturated tones characteristic of the 1805–1815 period, this plate exemplifies the finest tradition of botanical illustration. The clean silhouette and exceptional decorative presence make it equally compelling as a framed art piece or a collector's reference. A museum-quality original suitable for the serious botanist, naturalist, or vintage print enthusiast.
