Antique Swedish Herbarium - Viola, circa 1907
This antique pressed flower specimen, a Saffron Viola collected in 1907, is a member of the Violaceae family, small in stature, yet botanically significant.
Its rounded, slightly heart-shaped leaves and singular, golden yellow bloom are characteristic of the wild field violas often found at the margins of meadows and cottage gardens throughout northern Europe. The pressed structure retains delicate veining and petal curvature, offering a glimpse into the plant’s ephemeral springtime presence.
Subtle in form but carefully preserved, this specimen speaks to the quiet discipline of botanical study in the early 20th century.
Authentically natural. A moment of spring, stilled.
