Brunnella grandiflora & Orchid Fragments
This rare herbarium sheet presents a beautifully arranged pairing of specimens: Brunnella grandifloraon the left and a series of slender orchid fragments on the right. Each plant is secured with its original mounting tape, offering a striking study in contrast—broad, smooth leaves beside elegant, reed-like stems.
The botanist’s handwritten notes remain visible along the margins, identifying each specimen with quiet precision. Time has softened the tones of both the blooms and the paper, giving the entire page a warm, archival character that speaks to decades of careful preservation.
A unique composition within the Herbier de Provence collection, this piece brings together two distinct botanical forms on one sheet, making it an especially compelling choice for collectors who appreciate the variety and history found in vintage natural studies.
