“Mandragora officinarum can readily be grown in a large south-facing window in any greenhouse, owing to their adaptability to common terracotta gardening pots. Their care and keeping is best attempted by the horticulturalist with an experience in rare and temperamental greenery, as the botanical study of this particular root doesn’t come without its own peculiar risks. The fame of these risks are nearly as well known as the plant itself."

Bring home mandrake lore with this exhibition quality art print of one of my original watercolour pieces.

This is a giclée art print of an original fantasy botanical illustration, designed in the style of an aged field guide or natural history textbook page. Complete with notes, specimen illustration, and the kind of careful documentation one imagines an ancient herbalist might attempt.

It fits naturally in collections of dark academia, fantasy naturalism, Gothic botanical art, or alongside any shelf of old books that deserves a little more mystery, perfect for readers and lovers of folklore.
