Collector-quality antique botanical prints and natural history prints
Whether you are a collector looking for first edition Curtis botanicals, or a decorator looking for an alternative to today's mass-produced, mass-market art, we have a large selection of beautiful prints to choose from. Many of our antique botanical prints feature original hand-coloring and hand-finishing (such as Curtis, Michaux, Warner, Twamley and Vietz). If there's a certain print you're looking for but can't find, let us know — we love helping our customers find the 'perfect print'!
Check back often, as we add more rare and beautiful botanical prints and natural history prints to the gallery each month. See what's new at StudioBotanika.

Conservation-Quality Custom Framing
If you're looking for a beautiful botanical print to hang in your home or office, it's important to take care of the print by framing and displaying it properly. StudioBotanika offers a range of custom framing options to carefully protect and showcase your print, using a clean, refined style which will complement almost any interior space.
We offer high-quality hardwood frames from Larson-Juhl and AMPF, and we use all acid-free matting, mounting and ultraviolet-protective glass to ensure preservation of the print. Click here for more information on our custom framing products and services, and find out how to order.
Botanical photography by Claudia Toutain-Dorbec
StudioBotanika is pleased to present an exclusive selection of photographs from American artist Claudia Toutain-Dorbec's 2008 collection, A Year in the Southwest: An Exploration of the Natural World. All photographs are signed and numbered by the artist, from a limited edition of 50 prints. The photographs from this intimate work are imbued with a vibrant richness and depth of color that accentuate the delicate beauty of the subject.
These beautiful botanical photographs can also be custom framed in a number of elegant styles; please see our framing section for more information.

Special Exhibit: Women & The Art of Botanical Illustration
StudioBotanika is pleased to present a special exhibit on the work of talented female botanical artists throughout the ages. We start with Maria Sibylla Merian's remarkable voyage to Surinam in the late 1600s, and continue through the 20th century with pioneering explorers and conservationists such as Mary Vaux Walcott and Margaret Mee. We have over 500 prints in stock from the exhibit including Margaret Stones, Sarah Ann Drake (illustrations for James Bateman's Orchidaceae of Mexico and Guatemala) and Christabel King. See the exhibit here.
