Explore our collection of original antique botanical prints from Bilder ur Nordens Flora (Illustrations of the Flora of the North), the celebrated three-volume botanical work by Swedish botanist Carl Axel Magnus Lindman (1856–1928).
First published between 1901 and 1905, this important work was based on the earlier Svensk Botanik by Johan Wilhelm Palmstruch and was subsequently revised and expanded. The 1922–1926 edition, published in Stockholm by Wahlström & Widstrand, comprises 663 beautifully detailed colour botanical plates across three volumes.
The illustrations depict the remarkable diversity of Scandinavian and Northern European flora, including wildflowers, flowering plants, grasses, ferns, trees and medicinal plants.
The three volumes comprise:
- Volume I: Botanical plates 1–221
- Volume II: Botanical plates 222–441
- Volume III: Botanical plates 442–663
