🦡 Wild flowers drawn and colored from nature.. New York, 1859.. [Source]
Illustration from 1859 of a wildflower branch with slender green leaves and delicate pink blossoms. The flowers include five-petaled star-shaped blooms and small bell-shaped buds and flowers hanging from thin stems. The drawing is finely detailed with soft watercolor shading, set against a beige background with some aging marks. No badger or animal is depicted, focusing solely on the botanical subject.
