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 October 17, 1936.

The specimen features the uniquely named Dart for the Heart (Zauschneria cana, commonly known today as California Fuchsia or Hoary Epilobium) from the Onagraceae family. The typed archival label notes that this exact piece was originally collected near Big Sur, Monterey County, California, by collector E.M.W. (Emery Whilton). With its elegant, slender branching structure, aged paper patina, typed vintage typeface, and elegant gold-toned frame, this piece adds a sophisticated, coastal-historic look to any gallery wall, study, or living space.

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.
