The Floral Eve print design comes from a large botanical painting by Rachel Pedder Smith, entitled The Herbarium Specimen. The artwork is over five metres long, depicting over 700 diverse plant specimens with evocative Latin names, in a lovingly intricate, detailed style. It's a rather striking thing, as I am sure you will agree, featuring native British flora and those of more far-flung locales. Nettle nestles with cannabis, Japanese camellia with cyclamen, and so on. Pods and husks and petals and leaves in contrasting bright and earthy tones. The spent, ossified with the tremulous, just emerging. Delightful, radiant, joyful and exquisitely decorative. A three button cuff shirt on Liberty Tana Lawn superior cotton.
