An intrepid Victorian traveler and prolific painter, Marianne North
produced more than eight-hundred paintings over her lifetime. She
eschewed the soft pastels of typical botanical artists and instead
painted entire landscapes using bold, hearty oil paints. Her
collection is housed at Kew, where you can still see 848 of her
paintings on display in an eponymous gallery. Marianne North 100
Postcards is a box overflowing with 100 of North's beautiful
paintings. Each full-color postcard features a unique illustration
from the collection and it includes plants from all over the world.
What more fitting tribute to a globetrotter than to send one of her
postcards from your own international (or even local) adventures?
