Carrot Botanical Chart Print by Ernst Benary (1870s)

Product details

Kitchen-garden history for your wall

Connect your interest in growing and cooking with this reproduction of an 1870s carrot botanical chart from Ernst Benary’s Album Benary. Its familiar vegetable subject makes it a thoughtful addition to a breakfast nook, dining area or kitchen gallery wall. Display it on its own or combine it with other produce studies for a collection celebrating cultivated plants.

About the botanical chart

Benary was a German seedsman whose illustrated plates recorded cultivated plant varieties. This carrot study connects an everyday ingredient with the tradition of 19th-century horticultural illustration. As a botanical chart rather than a food advertisement, it offers a different way to bring a culinary subject into your home: through the history of plants and their cultivation.

Create a personal garden-inspired corner

Imagine placing the print beside a shelf of cookbooks or gardening journals, with warm wooden furniture, softly textured linen and a basket of seasonal produce nearby. It can become a year-round reminder of the kitchen garden, whether you grow your own carrots or simply enjoy preparing fresh food. The recorded orange, beige and green palette offers a starting point for coordinating accessories or companion prints in related tones.

A smaller format can join an established gallery arrangement, while a larger print gives the botanical subject a more prominent place. Pairing it with Benary’s tomato print creates a connection through the same source collection; adding lemon and cherry studies introduces other produce and periods. Consider your available wall space and surrounding furniture before selecting the size that suits your display.

Paper, printing and finish

This product is a reproduction, not an original botanical plate from the 1870s. It is produced using giclée printing on 200gsm matte art paper, offering a matte paper surface for your chosen arrangement. Choose a print-only version if you would like to use your own frame, or select a framed option with a black wooden frame and white mount. Three paper sizes give you flexibility when planning a single feature or a grouped botanical display.
