BOTANICALS | 100 POSTCARD BOX SET | NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN
The Botanicals 100 Postcard Box Set from the New York Botanical Garden Archives is a breathtakingly beautiful and deeply considered gift object that brings the extraordinary archival illustration heritage of one of America's most celebrated botanical institutions to a thoroughly wearable, giftable, and collectible everyday luxury form. One hundred exquisitely reproduced botanical illustrations — drawn from the rich, centuries-deep archives of the New York Botanical Garden — are presented in a beautifully produced hardcover box set of 4.5" x 6.75" postcards, each one a genuinely collectible work of botanical art print that captures the extraordinary precision, chromatic beauty, and quiet, meditative poetry of the finest scientific botanical illustration tradition. From rare orchids and exotic tropical specimens to familiar garden flowers rendered with an astonishing level of observed detail, this extraordinary collection celebrates the intersection of scientific rigor and genuine artistic beauty in its most purely considered and thoroughly wearable form. Equally beautiful framed as a rotating gallery wall, sent as a considered correspondence, or simply browsed with a cup of tea — a rare and investment-worthy gift for the discerning botanical enthusiast, art lover, and nature-inspired home decorator alike.
