About the work
Plate 33 from Plantae Selectae, published between 1750 and 1773 by Christopher Jacob Trew with plates after drawings by Georg Dionysius Ehret. The hand-coloured engraving shows a magnolia in full bloom, its great white petals opened wide, with broad glossy leaves and the plant’s Latin description engraved below.
Printed on 200 gsm museum-quality matte paper from the museum’s high-resolution open-access image, with a white border so nothing of the original is cropped. Available from A4 up to 70 × 100 cm, or as a digital download to print yourself.
