EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of the Common Moonwort (Botrychium lunaria), a fern species that flourishes in alpine regions. Created by an anonymous German artist from the 19th century, this colour lithograph is part of a private collection and was originally featured in Anton Hartinger's renowned "Atlas of the Alpine flora" published between 1881 and 1884. The image captures the intricate details of this enchanting plant, with its feathery fronds gracefully unfurling against a backdrop of muted earth tones. The artist's skillful rendering brings to life every vein and texture, allowing viewers to appreciate the botanical wonders found within nature. Commonly known as Gemeine Mondraute in German, this species belongs to the Ophioglossales order within pteridopsida or ferns. Its unique appearance makes it instantly recognizable among other plants, while its inclusion in Hartinger's atlas solidifies its significance within botany. Displayed here for educational purposes only by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print serves as both a visual delight and a valuable resource for those interested in exploring the diverse world of flora. As we admire this timeless illustration, let us marvel at nature's ability to inspire artists throughout history and remind ourselves of our responsibility to preserve these natural treasures for future generations.
