Pomegranate - Köhler, 19th century. (Pomegranate Wall Art)
This print feels bright, clean, and easy to live with. The red flowers pop, but the page still has a calm, “study on paper” look that works well as botanical wall art in a kitchen, dining space, or a quiet hallway.
About this print
This print shows Punica granatum (pomegranate) from Köhler’s Medizinal-Pflanzen, a late 19th century German herbal published in three volumes (1887., 1890., 1898.) with color images made by chromolithography. The page reads like a careful lesson: a flowering sprig, the fruit, and seed cross sections laid out with clear labels, so you can understand the plant at a glance.
What makes it so satisfying on the wall is that it balances “pretty” and “precise” without trying too hard. You get the full plant first, then the small cutaway details start to matter the longer you look. If you want to stay in the same Köhler world, his Lavender keeps the same clean layout, but shifts from fruit and structure to a softer herb study.
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.
