Cyclamen Hederaefolium (Autumn Cyclamen)

Hand-colored botanical lithograph by Dutch artist Arentine H. Arendsen from A. C. Van Eeden's *Flora of Haarlem*. The plate depicts both pink and white flower varieties of autumn cyclamen in full bloom, with characteristic heart-shaped, marbled foliage and delicate reflexed petals. The specimen is rendered with precise horticultural detail—each flower's anatomical structure carefully observed, the leaves' distinctive venation pattern clearly marked. This work exemplifies nineteenth-century scientific illustration practices, combining aesthetic presentation with botanical accuracy for both naturalists and cultivators. Published by Van Eeden & Co. in Wageningen and Haarlem.
