Vox Botanica / Wild Thistle / Midi / Lined

Unheralded wildflowers and weeds are given a voice in our Vox Botanica series, featuring the work of celebrated Art Nouveau illustrator Anton Seder (1850-1916). This particular piece, originally chromolithograph on paper, comes from one of his best-known works, Die Pflanze in Kunst und Gewerbe, or The Plant in Art and Trade. Published in Vienna in 1890, it offers two volumes of stunning prints gracefully depicting elements of nature. Seder's harmonious use of space, pleth ora of details and candid depiction of natural elements drew us to this piece. With this series, we herald Seder's unique voice and vision for his plants in a new era of art and trade.
