Vintage Fruit No. 2 - Set of 4

This four-print series reflects Jonathan Charles’ admiration for the precision and quiet beauty of 19th-century natural history illustration. Drawn from traditional fruit and botanical engravings, the works recall a time when scientific study and decorative art were seamlessly intertwined. Presented in bold circular frames, the historic imagery is given a contemporary rhythm, transforming engravings into graphic objects with architectural presence. Displayed together, the twelve prints create repetition and harmony, animating the wall with measured cadence. Printed on Awagami handmade Japanese paper from the Fujimori family mill in Tokushima, the engravings gain softness and depth from a centuries-old papermaking tradition, grounding the graphic compositions in tactile, archival character. Crafted in dark wood with subtle antique gold detailing, the frames echo Jonathan Charles’ heritage of fine furniture making. For a set of 12, purchase all there sets of 4.
