Original hand-colored lithograph from a 1840s English folio of botanical prints featuring flowers referenced in the works of William Shakespeare. The finest of the mid-sized Victorian botanical prints, this plate features an elegant botanical bouquet and an identified Shakespearean quote rendered in decorative calligraphy. Shown is the "Oak and Myrtle" from “Measure for Measure” (Act 2 Scene 7). The stylized lettering is enhanced by an illustrated single capital letter, as found in the Early Illuminated Manuscript tradition.
As a hallmark of Victorian sentiment, Miss Jane Elizabeth Giraud, (1810 - 1868) artist and lithographer, dedicated this fine botanical work to her brother, a Doctor in stationed in the British Colony of Bombay, as token of the homeland. The plates were printed and hand-colored by Day and Haghe, Lithographers to the Queen..
