Botanical Art

Bring the timeless beauty of the plant world into your creative work with Botanical Art: An Image Archive for Artists and Designers.

This carefully curated collection brings together 196 exquisite botanical engravings from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a golden age of plant illustration. Created by master artists such as Nicolas Robert and Georg Dionysius Ehret, these plates combine scientific precision with extraordinary artistry, capturing every detail from delicate petals and seed heads to sprawling root systems. Each image has been individually restored and cleaned, preserving the character of the original works while making them ready for modern creative use.

Inside you will discover towering sunflowers, spiky thistles and bristling knapweeds alongside graceful hollyhocks, bellflowers and cardinal flowers. Lavish oriental poppies and peonies sit beside winter-blooming Christmas roses, while lilies, tulips, irises and wild daffodils are shown complete with their bulbs and roots. Rare lady's slipper orchids appear next to the darker side of the herbal garden, including mandrake, nightshade, henbane, wormwood and much more.
