Bombax glaucescens ET2 $175
Each print measures approximately 9 1/2 by 12 inches

Constantin von Ettingshausen was Austrian physician and botanist with a keen interest in the technique of nature printing.  In 1871 he was appointed  professor of botany at Graz, a postion he held until his death in 1897. A contemporary of Henry Bradbury and Alois Auer, the principal proponents of this exotic form of printing, he worked with Pokorny to improve nature printing techniques.  This improvement can certainly be seen in the prints we have to offer, as it is like having the leaf actually embedded on the page, with the imprint of all the parts making a curious Braille of nature, as it were.

It is from die Nervation der Bombaceen published in Vienna in 1858 that we are offering the current selection of nature printed botanicals. Each print is on a fine heavy paper with strong plate marks, and is still quite white. The measurements are approximately 9 1/2 by 12 inches, with a few fox marks in the margin of some that will frame out. The nature printing process results in images that are remarkably true to life, with the leaf captured for eternity, even after nearly 150 years have passed.
