Genuine Antique Botanical Print

1925

Maker: Mary Vaux Walcott

 

Antique botanical lithograph of Ocotillo. Fouquieria splendens Engelmann from North American Wild Flowers by Mary Vaux Walcott, published by the Smithsonian Institute, 1925. The cover booklet states: All sketches are life size. Each print is accompanied by a page with text describing the plant. Gorgeous original lithograph color. With plate mark. Page measures approx. 14 x 11 inches.

Fouquieria splendens is a plant indigenous to the Mojave Desert, Sonoran Desert, Chihuahuan Desert and Colorado Desert in the Southwestern United States, and northern Mexico. While semi-succulent and a desert plant, Ocotillo is more closely related to the tea plant and blueberries than to cactuses.
