Antique Swedish Herbarium - Phlox, circa 1903

$295.00

The year the Wright brothers first left the ground at Kitty Hawk, someone quietly pressed this blossom between sheets of paper. While the world discovered flight, a garden in full bloom was being preserved in silence. The petals, now paper-thin and timeworn, still suggest evenings when lamplight fell through lace curtains and the air was heavy with summer fragrance. Pressed without ceremony, not knowing it would outlast the garden, the house, even the hand that placed it there. What you hold is not just a flower, but a century-old whisper of a season that refused to be forgotten.
