TILLANDSIA ~ 1925 Color Flower Art Print
| ARTIST: Mary Walcott This is a lovely artistic antique botanical flower print, circa 1925, was extracted from an old folio of flower prints whose goal was to present all the wild flowers native to North America at that time. The flowers are presented in more scientific presentation used by biologists and scientists, which is as a close-up of the flower on its own on a white background. This famous artist has captured the exquisite detail in the leaves, stem and flower buds. Given the changing world climate and decline in forest and wildlands over the last century, the flowering plants from this series are in many cases quite rare in their wild ecological habitat and are most likely found being cultivated in a florist garden store or greenhouse. Fourtunately, many of these species are now protected by conservation laws. Once framed, this print would make a fine interior decorating accent in a bedroom or living room. Great gift for the interior designer decorator or horticulturalist. |
