Collection of Twelve Framed Botanicals from the Rocky Mountains, c. 1926
This remarkable set of twelve pressed botanical specimens, collected in the Rocky Mountains in 1926, transforms scientific study into poetic art. Unlike most herbarium pages—typically reserved for a single bloom—each sheet bursts with a full bouquet of wildflowers, carefully arranged and preserved in all their delicate, high-altitude glory. Even better, every page includes a handwritten key identifying each species, offering a personal, century-old record of one nature lover’s alpine adventure. Originally bound in a field book, we've given these pages new life: each is now floated on a silk backing and framed in a raked walnut frame that lends texture and warmth. The result is a suite of naturalist treasures—romantic, textural, and utterly unique. Perfect hung as a dramatic grid or scattered like pressed petals across a gallery wall. We’ve preserved the original front and back covers of the book as well, to include with the purchase for those who dream of rebinding the collection.
