Early 20th century French herbarium specimen featuring pressed botanicals mounted on aged paper with striking blackletter calligraphy headers.
Botanical classifications and handwritten labels include:
* Amarantacées (Amaranth family), including an amaranth specimen (“Amarante queue de renard”)
* Rubiacées (Rubiaceae family), including Gaillet jaune and Gaillet croisette
Likely originally part of a larger botanical study folio, later framed for display. This example stands out for its highly stylized script and balanced composition, giving it both scientific and decorative appeal beyond typical herbarium sheets.
Presented in a warm-toned wood frame (later), ready to hang.
Companion piece available in separate listing
