This print showcases a stunning botanical illustration titled "Peony: Paeonia Faemina Flore Pleno Rubro Majore, 1769" by John Edwards. Originally published in the monthly parts of "The British Herbal" between 1769 and 1770, this particular edition was featured in "British Garden Flowers" by George M. Taylor in 1946. The vibrant red peony takes center stage against a backdrop of lush green foliage, exuding elegance and grace.

Transporting us back to the enchanting landscapes of eighteenth-century England, this print offers a glimpse into the country's rich natural history. Its presence evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when botany played a significant role in scientific exploration and discovery.
