Croton

$165.00

This exquisite print is one of six botanical patterns in the Collected Patterns Letterpress series.

The Croton is a highly decorative plant and in this work, has a tribal feel. It’s had a number of medicinal uses throughout history, including the use of Croton oil as a violent purgative. It’s no longer used this way, however, the bark of some species is still used to flavour Campari and Vermouth. Crotons adorn gardens all over Brisbane thanks to Walter Hill propagating and distributing them during his early curatorship of the Brisbane Botanic Gardens.

Printed on beautiful handmade Magnani Incisioni 650/5 Smooth White 100% Cotton Rag Paper with rubber-based inks using an original Heidelberg Windmill Letterpress, this print is one of a very limited edition of 10 impressions and is highly collectible.

Each print is signed, numbered and titled on the front, wrapped in acid-free tissue and presented in a beautiful custom envelope, perfect for gifting. Also included, are details about the print, the series it’s part of and confirmation of the edition number purchased.

The frame pictured is not included, however, frames are widely available and inexpensive, like the beautiful selection at Country Road. The print fits a standard frame with an 8×10″ window mount.

Ships worldwide in a flat, non-bendable envelope.

Dimensions Unframed: 300 x 260mm.
