1933 Vintage European Vetch Herbarium Framed Print – Emery Whilton Botanical Art (12" x 16.5")

This beautiful vintage framed botanical print is an authentic reproduction from the historic Emery Whilton Herbarium, originally collected on May 21, 1933.

The specimen features the climbing tendrils and detailed leaflets of the European Vetch (Vicia villosa) from the Leguminosae family. The typed archival label contains fascinating historical context, noting that this exact piece was originally collected on the south fork of the Tule River near Porterville, Tulare County, Calif., adding the historic observation: "A native of Europe, a weed here." It was found by collector Y.W.W. With its delicate climbing structures, organic silhouette, aged paper patina, typed vintage typeface, and elegant gold-toned frame, this piece adds a sophisticated, historic touch to any gallery wall, study, or living space.
