Snapdragon Flower Illustration - Vintage Botanical Drawing #3230081 (License: Personal Use)

This precise black-and-white engraving depicts a mature snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) in side profile, emphasizing its zygomorphic corolla-upper and lower lobes forming a gaping “mouth,” with ruffled margins and visible striations indicating texture. Below the open bloom, a tightly closed floral bud shows overlapping sepals and developing petals, illustrating the plant’s sequential flowering pattern. The fine cross-hatching technique conveys volume and depth, typical of scientific botanical plates from the late 1800s.

Used in educational resources, historical botany archives, or horticultural websites to illustrate floral morphology; targets users researching plant anatomy, vintage botanical art, or garden planning for ornamental species.
