{"product_id":"ficus-carica-flowers-of-germany","title":"Fig Carica- Flowers of Germany","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis elegant chromolithograph of the common fig (Ficus Carica) comes from Professor Otto Wilhelm Thomé's authoritative Flora von Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz, published in its second edition in the early 1900s. The plate demonstrates the meticulous scientific illustration standards of German botanical publishing at its peak, featuring a central branch specimen with the fig's distinctive lobed leaves and developing fruit, surrounded by detailed anatomical studies of the flower structure and cross-sectioned fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chromolithographic printing captures the naturalistic color gradations beautifully, from the sage-green leaves to the deep burgundy-brown of the ripe fig and the intricate pink and white interior revealed in the cross-section. The numbered detail figures (1-5) show the tiny flowers, seeds, and developmental stages that make this a complete botanical reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA handsome example of Edwardian-era scientific illustration, this plate bridges the gap between rigorous botanical documentation and decorative art. The fig's ancient associations with Mediterranean culture and cuisine make this an especially appealing choice for kitchen, dining room, or any space celebrating the bounty of nature.\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":44561155326067,"sku":"AP7140","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/3005\/8556\/files\/2026-03-21-15-49-17-01.jpg?v=1774994769","url":"https:\/\/www.authenticvintageposters.com\/products\/ficus-carica-flowers-of-germany","provider":"Authentic Vintage Posters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
