Really lovely print with great attention to detail in the botanical illustrations. The paper feels premium and the matte finish is beautiful. Would have loved one more size option but the medium fits perfectly above my desk.
This poster transformed my dorm room! All my friends are obsessed with the vintage botanical vibe. The paper is really nice quality - not flimsy at all. Love that it comes unframed so I can choose my own frame style.
Got this as a gift for my book club friend and she was thrilled! The botanical illustration style is so elegant and unique. The matte finish really elevates the whole look. Definitely ordering more from this shop.
Beautiful design and great quality paper. The vintage engraving style is really well done. Giving 4 stars because the background is slightly darker than the listing photos, but it actually works even better for the dark academia vibe.
Perfect dark academia aesthetic! The burgundy and forest green color palette is so rich and moody. I taped it up with washi tape above my desk and it looks like it belongs in an old university library. So happy with this purchase!
