Botanical

Botanical illustration developed as a scientific practice before it became a decorative one. From the 17th century onward, naturalists commissioned detailed hand-colored engravings to document plants that European audiences had never seen, and the discipline demanded both accuracy and artistry in equal measure. That combination gave botanical work a visual quality that outlasted its scientific purpose. The pieces shown here are period originals from that tradition.
