This print captures the delicate, aromatic flower spikes and silvery-green foliage of the plant revered since antiquity for its beauty, scent, and calming properties.

The 19th century witnessed a prolific output of botanical works, driven by scientific classification and a public fascination with horticulture, herbalism, and the emerging field of aromatherapy.

• Ancient Utility: Lavender has been prized for millennia—its name is derived from the Latin lavare ("to wash")—highlighting its historical use in baths and as a disinfectant. This illustration documents the source of that scent, focusing on the dense, layered structure of the flower heads and the fine, slender leaves.

• Botanical Detail: The print would have been created using meticulous engraving or lithography, often with hand-coloring to achieve the characteristic lilac-purple hues of the flowers and the soft, grayish-green of the foliage. The composition is clean and scientific, allowing the viewer to appreciate the verticality and symmetry of the spike.

A Symbol of Serenity: Lavender is universally recognized as a symbol of calmness, devotion, and purity. Displaying this print brings not only the history of botanical art but also a sense of peaceful, restorative elegance to an interior.

This print is an essential acquisition for collectors of Botanical Art, Antique Natural History, and anyone interested in Aromatherapy, Herbalism, and Mediterranean decor.
