Antique Botanical Illustration Bright Red Poppy
Antique Botanical Engraving. This engraving of the Common Poppy comes from "Conversations on Botany" published in 1823 to introduce children to the Linnaean system of classification. Behind it are can be seen excerpts from an essay on flowers by the Victorian writer Clara L. Balfour (Britain, 1808 - 1878). "What a desolate place would be a world without a flower! It would be a face without a smile, a feast without a welcome. Are not flowers the stars of the earth, and are not our stars the flowers of heaven?"
Note on the Background Text:
This handwritten version of Balfour's text comes from an antique record ledger we found at a New Hampshire flea market some 40 years ago. We do not know who wrote the sheets. The cover page of the Journal is signed A. Johnson and titled: "The Cold Water Advocate, A Journal Advocating Temperance in all Things."

Looked great and was perfect for my Nana's 99th it arrived super quick so much quicker than sending the original from the other side of the world! My Nan loved my artwork too and the picture of us inside helped her remember who I was as she has Alzheimer's. Crisp and clear. Bright and colorful true to the original artwork I created. The photo we placed inside also looked great and clear.

This was used as a Mother's Day card and my mother absolutely loved it! The artwork and attention to detail is stunning. It's as if the hare could jump right out of the card at any moment. The print quality and colours are of a very high standard and show the beautiful hare in commendable detail.
