‘Wild Flowers’ book from 1852-53 by Anne Pratt
135 x 106 cm
 
Francisca created an extremely delicate piece with Anne Pratt’s* book ’Wild flowers’ from 1852. The fine wood engravings of nearly two hundred flowers interlink with extracts of their description, Latin names and quotes insinuating a pattern inspired by an old wall paper.

* Anne Pratt is one of the best known English botanical illustrators of the Victorian age.
