Citrus Limonum - Köhler, 19th century. (Lemon Wall Art)
This print feels bright but still calm. You get the lemon branch, blossoms, and fruit studies laid out with a lot of space, so it looks clean on the wall and stays easy to look at every day. It fits well as botanical wall art in a kitchen, dining space, or a quiet hallway where your home decor leans natural and old-world.
About this print
This print print comes from Köhler’s Medizinal-Pflanzen, a German herbal published in the late 19th century with color images made using chromolithography. It was written mainly by Hermann Adolph Köhler and edited after his death by Gustav Pabst.
“Citrus limonum” is an older name you will still see on historic pages for the lemon, which is usually listed today as Citrus × limon. That is part of the charm here. It feels like a real working reference page, but it is also simply a good looking piece of art prints style design, with the fruit and flower details arranged so you can compare them at a glance.
If you like how this page breaks a fruit down into clear little studies, Coconut Tree continues the same “herbal page” feeling, just with a taller silhouette and a very different kind of fruit.
Craft & finish
This print is made on hand-processed paper, highlighted with subtle gold and sealed with beeswax for an authentic parchment feel. Please note that colors can look slightly different from screen to screen.

In case your print creases during the travel, as it usually does travel for some time, you can safely warm it up with a hair-dryer, and the wax will melt back right into it. You can also use a lighter, which is a much faster method, but be careful to keep the flame either above the paper or parallel to it (which means holding the paper vertically) so it doesn't smudge or even catch fire. The chance of the print actually creasing is very small, as they are rolled in bubble-wrap and shipped in a cardboard box. Also, be sure to keep the print out of the direct sunlight, as it can melt or fade.
