{"product_id":"polygonum-fagopyrum-flowers-of-germany","title":"Polygonum Fagopyrum- Flowers of Germany","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis exquisite chromolithograph plate from Prof. Dr. Thomé's landmark Flora von Deutschland depicts Polygonum Fagopyrum, the common buckwheat plant, with the meticulous scientific precision that defined early 20th century German botanical illustration. The composition presents a complete botanical portrait: flowering stems with their delicate clusters of pink and white blossoms, the distinctive heart-shaped leaves, and a detailed root system, alongside magnified dissections of the flower structure and the characteristic triangular seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished in 1904 as plate 196 from Band II of Thomé's comprehensive flora, this work represents the golden age of botanical chromolithography. The multi-pass printing process achieves remarkable color fidelity, from the subtle gradations of the flower petals to the rich reddish-brown of the mature stems. Buckwheat, despite its name, is not a true grain but a member of the Polygonaceae family, and its agricultural importance as a food crop and bee plant made it an essential inclusion in this encyclopedic reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA handsome example of scientific illustration as fine art, this plate brings both educational depth and natural beauty to any collection. The inclusion of the original German title page provides valuable provenance documentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.5\" x 6.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Walter Müller\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Authentic Vintage Posters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44561157423219,"sku":"AP7144","price":30.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/3005\/8556\/files\/2026-03-21-15-50-49-01.jpg?v=1774995163","url":"https:\/\/www.authenticvintageposters.com\/en-nl\/products\/polygonum-fagopyrum-flowers-of-germany","provider":"Authentic Vintage Posters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
