1882 Isaac Sprague White Bay Botanical Chromolithograph

A luminous white blossom surrounded by richly colored green foliage, this 1882 chromolithograph from Flowers of the Field and Forest showcases Isaac Sprague's extraordinary naturalistic detail. Sprague, one of America's most important 19th-century botanical illustrators, collaborated with John James Audubon on his 1843 Missouri River expedition, bringing the same meticulous observation to his celebrated studies of American flora.

The print depicts Gordonia pubescens with the precision and beauty Sprague's work is known for. Newly framed in a handsome green and gilt frame with a generous cream mat accented by a fine green line, it brings both historical significance and editorial warmth to a room devoted to hosting and natural beauty.

Antique condition with gentle age-related toning and surface variation adds to its character and provenance.
