These decorative presentations were designed to complement the natural shapes of the flora pictures. Byxbe created select botanical studies of Colorado wildflowers using a monotype technique on paper. Because monotypes are unique pulls from a painted surface, these color prints display a soft, translucent quality that sets them apart from his traditional line work. These pictures measure 13” wide by 15” tall by 1” deep. These pictures are in good vintage condition for their age. There are some pieces of wood that have gotten chipped in the corners over the years. See less
