c.1812 Pineapple Study (Black)

The c.1812 Pineapple Study (Black) is an exuberant revival of an early 19th-century botanical illustration, designed to make a bold statement. Originally produced as a black-and-white engraving and then hand-painted in vivid tropical hues, this particular study is set against a dramatic black background that makes the golden fruit and architectural leaves pop with extraordinary intensity. Digitally restored in our Lancashire studio, this "fabulous" print bridges the gap between Regency-era botany and modern maximalist design.
