Flowers are one of those things we take for granted: they are everywhere and thus, more often than not, we tend not to see their beauty and natural elegance. To many, flowers are a cliche, much like sunsets and landscapes.
However, illustrations (and later photographs) of flowers are daily reminders of the beauty, grace and fragility of nature’s decor.
Discover a collection of floral illustrations from the late 19th and early 20th century, which were not necessairly intended as works of art to be hung on the wall, but which, as with a lot of works of art, had a practical aspect first: they are taken from horticultural journals, books and magazines.
