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

Bring a piece of historic California botany into your home.

This beautiful vintage framed botanical print is an authentic reproduction from the historic Emery Whilton Herbarium, originally collected on March 29, 1933.

The specimen features the dramatic, spiny structure and deeply lobed leaves of a Thistle (Cirsium) from the Compositae family. The typed archival label notes the historical collection details recorded by collector Y.W.W. over nine decades ago. With its bold, structural silhouette, fine thorny details, aged paper patina, typed vintage typeface, and elegant gold-toned frame, this piece adds a sophisticated, striking historic touch to any gallery wall, study, or living space.

Please Note: This listing is for the Thistle print individually. However, this item is part of a curated set of 12 unique botanical prints from the same collection, all sharing matching 12" x 16.5" frame dimensions and 2.6 lbs weight. They look stunning displayed together as a symmetrical grid or a dynamic gallery wall. Check our store to collect the rest of the series or message us to purchase the complete set!
