Here's a pretty Primrose bouquet just for you!
This gorgeous vintage botanical by Redoute is printed on a heavy matte finished paper and it's just as smooth and flat as the day it was printed a quarter century ago. This pretty print's colors are still fresh and lovely and it's in wonderful smooth and flat condition too.
'Auricula Primroses' measures 10.5" x 7.6" and it's 8.5" x 12" overall. This pretty bouquet would be ever so dramatic framed.
Matted, framed and displayed as a gallery grouping, these sweet oversize vintage botanical book prints are simply spectacular. (Please note that the framed examples in the last photo are just to show how this might look when it's matted and framed. Your print will come to you unmatted and unframed.)

Pierre-Joseph Redouté was born 1759 in Saint-Hubert, Belgium and he died in Paris in 1840 at the age of 80 while sitting at his easel painting a lily.
Nicknamed "The Raphael Of Flowers" he was painter and botanist, best known for his watercolors of roses, lilies and other flowers. He was the official court artist of Queen Marie Antoinette and he continued painting through the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror.
Redouté survived the turbulent political upheaval to gain international recognition for his precise renderings of plants, which remain as fresh in the early 21st century as when they were first painted.
