Two golden poppies with delicate, ruffled petals rise from feathery foliage rendered in warm metallic tones against a stark black ground. The botanical illustration captures intricate linework and naturalistic detail, creating an elegant study in high contrast that evokes classical engraving traditions. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
