LILLIES – Oken’s Naturgeschichte Botanik – Handcoloured Botanical Litho
Original Colour Vintage Print from Lorenz Okenfuss' 'Oken's Naturgeschichte' (Allgemeine Naturgeschichte für alle Stände), with illustrations by Johann Susemihl (1767-1847), and published in Stuttgart by Hoffman between 1839 and 1841. Lorenz Oken (1 August 1779 - 11 August 1851) was a German naturalist, botanist, biologist, and ornithologist. Oken was born Lorenz Okenfuss (German: Okenfuß) in Bohlsbach (now part of Offenburg), Ortenau, Baden, and studied natural history and medicine at the universities of Freiburg and Würzburg. He went on to the University of Göttingen, where he became a Privatdozent (unsalaried lecturer), and shortened his name to Oken. As Lorenz Oken, he published a small work entitled Grundriss der Naturphilosophie, der Theorie der Sinne, mit der darauf gegründeten Classification der Thiere (1802). This was the first of a series of works which established him as a leader of the movement of "Naturphilosophie" in Germany.

BOTANICAL – A Miscellaneous Selection of Vintage Flower Illustrations
The type foundry and print shop of old would create books, like the one this image was discovered within, to help customers and clients with their design choices. Naturally, these books were jam packed with useful illustrative elements that could be combined to create a final piece. Today, these books are extremely difficult to get a hold of. Especially those that were published in the late 1800s. They were not mainstream publications, they simply served as 'catalogs' and thus were only produced in small numbers. Fortunately, we were introduced to a collector who had precisely what we had been searching for for so long. After some costly negotiations, we're very excited to be able to share the wonderful gems within.
