Chickweed European Starflower, collected in 1938. A small woodland plant with delicate star shaped blossoms and slender stems, the sort of quiet flower easily overlooked unless you are the sort of person who notices such things. Someone did, nearly a century ago, and pressed it carefully to be remembered.
This antique herbarium specimen rests on vintage paper that carries the warmth and character of age with a slight dimple. The sheet shows the lightest foxing with subtle natural toning along the edges, reflecting the passage of time and the quiet life of the specimen.
A small piece of natural history, collected and kept with the simple intention of saving a moment from the field.
