Coconut Tree (Cocos Nucifera) - Köhler, 1890. (Coconut Wall Art)
This is a calm, warm botanical page that reads clearly from across the room. The tall palm and the cut coconut studies make it feel both decorative and practical, like an old reference page you can actually live with. It works well as botanical wall art in a study, hallway, or any home decor that leans natural and old-world.
About this print
This print shows Cocos nucifera, the coconut palm, a tropical tree grown widely for its edible fruit. That real-world usefulness is part of the charm here. It is not just a “pretty plant,” it is a plant people depended on, so the drawing stays focused and readable.
The illustration comes from Köhler’s Medizinal-Pflanzen and was printed as a chromolithograph, an older color-printing method that built the image in layers. You get one full palm for the overall shape, then separate coconut views that break the fruit down like a simple lesson.
If you like that mix of whole plant plus close study, Common Oak is a natural next page, because it keeps the same careful study style but shifts from the tropics to a familiar European forest.
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.
