Download on Etsy →Original illustrations, not antique reproductions
Search for botanical art prints online and you will mostly find the same thing: scanned plates from 18th- and 19th-century books, long out of copyright, resold by hundreds of shops. They are lovely — but they are reproductions, and they stopped where their artists stopped more than a century ago. Every print in this collection is different.

How each plate is made
Every illustration in this collection begins the same way — with a living specimen on the desk, studied under natural light, and drawn by hand. The method follows the tradition of 18th-century scientific botanical art, where accuracy matters more than decoration: each petal count, each leaf vein, each shift in colour is recorded from direct observation rather than from a photograph.
In total, the collection documents 58 species across four groups — flowers, plants and fruits, fungi, and invertebrates — many of them observed around Lake Como in northern Italy, where Fiurdelin is based. Subjects range from common European wildflowers such as dandelions and snowdrops to less familiar species like Pinguicula alpina, a carnivorous plant of Alpine streams, Rosalia alpina, one of Europe’s rarest longhorn beetles, and the garden snail Cornu aspersum. You can read more about this art-and-science approach on the about Fiurdelin page.
Printing and display
Each illustration is prepared at high resolution. Choose a professionally produced fine-art print, or, where a digital edition is available, download the file and print it through a home printer or a local print shop. The originals are drawn at 600 DPI, which means the detail holds from postcard size right up to a large wall format. If you are looking for a species not yet in the collection, get in touch — new illustrations are added regularly, based on seasonal observation and collector requests.
