Description
A cross-sectioned papaya with orange flesh dominates the left side of this botanical illustration, rendered with meticulous detail and subtle gradation. Tall papaya trees with delicate compound leaves and clustered yellow flowers rise from the center, accompanied by smaller botanical studies on the right, all set against a warm cream ground in the naturalistic style of 19th-century scientific illustration. Printed on smooth white card stock and made to order, artwork on the front, blank inside, envelopes included in every set. A handwritten note that arrives as an independent artist's work.
