Botanical print: Pomegranate (Köhler, 19th century)
Köhler's Medicinal Plants (or Köhler's Medizinal-Pflanzen) is a German herbal written principally by Hermann Adolph Köhler (1834 - 1879, physician and chemist), and edited after his death by Gustav Pabst. The work was first published in the late 19th century by Franz Eugen Köhler.
About this illustrationThis botanical print shows Punica granatum (pomegranate) from Köhler’s Medizinal-Pflanzen, a late-19th-century German herbal published in three volumes in 1887, 1890, and 1898, with colour plates produced by chromolithography. The pomegranate plate includes a flowering sprig, fruit and seed cross-sections, and aril details rendered with clear scientific labels.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
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.
