We found these beautiful prints of native wildflowers and ferns and just had to
offer them. Our prints are reproductions from Thomas Meehan’s book Native Flowers and Ferns of the United States published in 1879 by Louis
Prang. The original drawings were by the esteemed artist Alois Lunzer and were
printed as chromolithographs when published. We have modified them slightly
from the original, by adding background to the vertical margins so that the
image measures
8 x 10” and can be mounted in a standard picture frame. We produce each print using
archival quality, pigment inks on
8 1/2 x 11” matte finish paper so they look antique. Pigment inks provide considerably
greater resistance to fading from light and ozone than dye inks. Even
unprotected prints should experience no fading for at least 50 years. Mounted
behind glass their life expectancy is at least 100 years. These prints are
beautiful when framed and can be hung as individuals or in groups. Other
wildflowers and ferns are available - click here for a list. If you find a plant on the list you’d like to see, just email us and we can email you the image - if you like it we
can mail you the print. We hope you will enjoy them as much as we do.
