Bring the golden age of botanical discovery into your life with a piece that spans the history of exploration and modern fine art. It is not simply a reproduction; it is an homage to the "Orchid King" himself.The rise of Henry Frederick Conrad Sander from his humble beginnings as a London nursery worker to the world’s greatest orchidologist is the stuff of legend. With the fearless Czech explorer Benedict Roezl, he introduced the Victorian era to the most exotic flora the world has ever seen. While his original work is stored in the highest-security museums around the globe, our collection brings that prestige into your home.This stunning print is of the Cattleya Dowiana Aurea, or the "Queen of Orchids" as it is more commonly known. Famous throughout the orchid world for its velvet texture and crimson veins with striking sulfur yellow petals, this was the crowning glory of Sander’s catalogs.
