4804 Carl Lindman – Set of Six Botanical Prints of Rare Ferns and Ancient Vascular Plants – Chromolithographs (1905)

This set of six hand-coloured chromolithographic plates originates from Nordens Flora, the celebrated botanical publication by Swedish botanist Carl Axel Magnus Lindman. The selection includes finely illustrated specimens of ancient and distinctive vascular plants such as Pilularia globulifera (Pillwort), Equisetum hyemale (Scouring Rush), Ophioglossum vulgatum (Adder's-Tongue), Botrychium lunaria (Moonwort), Blechnum spicant (Spiked Fern), and Scolopendrium vulgare (Hart's Tongue). These species, many of them ferns or fern allies, are depicted with anatomical clarity and subtle colouring, exemplifying the synthesis of scientific precision and visual elegance typical of Lindman’s work.
Carl Lindman (1856–1928) was one of Sweden’s most influential botanists and a professor at the Swedish Museum of Natural History. His magnum opus, Nordens Flora, remains a cornerstone in the study of Nordic plant life. The publication is distinguished by its comprehensive coverage, taxonomic accuracy, and masterful illustrations. These prints are prized for their historical, artistic, and educational value.
