Today I was so excited to see this wonderful collection of illustrations by Natural Curiosities. It is being sold at One Kings Lane, an online store that offers 72-hour sales on home decor items. They always have lovely things--it's a great place to buy nice gifts for people, as they have very nicely scented candles, address books, vases, etc.
Here is the description:
The history of Cabinets of Curiosity dates back to Renaissance Europe when encyclopedic collections of natural history objects, geology, archaeology, and antiquities were gathered together for study and appreciation. Inspired by these collections, Natural Curiosities founder Christopher Wilcox created boxed sets of reproduction prints based upon illustrations of such collections from the 19th Century. Each box includes fourteen, 14-inch square images that can be framed, arranged, or simply kept in their box on the coffee table as a unique type of art “book”.
Dimensions: 15” x 15” x 2”
The illustrations range from Insectum to Botanicals to Sea Life. I feel smarter just looking at them.
