Curtis Botanical – Plate 8209 – Ulmo / Heart-leafed Eucryphia

Original antique black-and-white print from Curtis's Botanical Magazine — Plate 8209. NOTE: Also appears in Drop 2 on the main rack sheet. A magnificent Chilean tree of the Valdivian rainforest bearing heart-shaped leaves and white flowers with golden stamens. Chilean and Mapuche heritage connection. Uncolored plate. Condition consistent with age of volume. Each print is a unique piece of botanical history, printed on paper aged over a century. This plate originated with the Royal Horticultural Society and passed through Wheldon & Wesley, one of the great natural history dealers of the 20th century. We came into the archive by accident and have spent the time since trying to share it as widely as we can.
