Botanical Posters
Botanical drawing has a golden age: the late eighteenth and all of the nineteenth century, when expeditions brought back from the Amazon and Australia plants no one in Europe had ever seen. To classify them, they had to be drawn. These botanical posters are their direct heirs.
Pierre-Joseph Redoute, official painter to Josephine de Beauharnais, painted the roses (published in eight volumes between 1817 and 1824). Anne Pratt drew the English wildflowers. The Bauer brothers drew the herbarium that Captain Cook brought back from his voyage around the world. Hand-coloured washes, botanical precision, taxonomic layout.
These plates work everywhere, in the living room as much as the kitchen, because they speak a language we have forgotten: the patience of looking at a leaf for six hours.

Decorating a bedroom with posters
The bedroom is the most personal space. The posters you hang there need to last - above the bed or beside it. What creates a lasting presence, and what grows tiresome quickly.
