Here's a charming spring-y bouquet of colorful Gladiolus flowers just for you!

This gorgeous vintage botanical by Redoute is printed on a heavy matte finish paper and it's just as smooth and flat as the day it was printed a quarter century ago. This print's colors are still fresh and lovely and it's in wonderful smooth and flat condition too.

It measures 10.5" x 7.6" and with it's white border, it's 8.5" x 12" overall. This pretty bouquet of simple spring blossoms would be ever so dramatic framed.

Matted, framed and displayed as a gallery grouping, these over-sized vintage botanical prints are simply spectacular. (Please note that the framed examples in the last two photos are just to show how this might look when it's matted and framed. Your print will come unmatted and unframed.)

I'll send your 'Glads' to you First Class Mail by way of those nice folks at the USPS packed flat and protected in a rigid mailer.

Pierre-Joseph Redouté was born 1759 in Saint-Hubert, Belgium and he died in Paris in 1840 at the age of 80 while sitting at his easel painting a lily.

Nicknamed "The Raphael Of Flowers" he was painter and botanist, best known for his watercolors of roses, lilies and other flowers. He was the official court artist of Queen Marie Antoinette and he continued painting through the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror.

Redouté survived the turbulent political upheaval to gain international recognition for his precise renderings of plants, which remain as fresh in the early 21st century as when they were first painted.
