EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the lush landscapes of New Zealand's past with this exquisite pair of botanical prints. Created by renowned artist Sarah Featon in circa 1885, these watercolor masterpieces showcase two unique species: Olearia angustifolia and Olearia furfuracea.
The first print depicts a stunning mutton bird scrub from Teteaweka, its delicate purple flowers and slender stems captured with meticulous detail. The second image features the Akipirau plant, its white blossoms bursting forth against a backdrop of lush greenery.
Featon's artwork is not only a testament to her skill as an artist but also serves as a window into New Zealand's natural heritage during the late 19th century. Her attention to detail and commitment to accuracy make these prints invaluable resources for botanists, historians, and nature enthusiasts alike.
These vintage botanicals are now part of Heritage Images' collection at Te Papa Museum in Wellington, where they continue to inspire wonder and appreciation for New Zealand's unique flora.
