Amanda Almira Newton: Avocado (c. 1900s) USDA Botanical Art Print

Add a touch of vintage scientific elegance to your home. This museum-quality Giclée reproduction features Amanda Almira Newton’s Avocado, a stunning pinnacle of early 20th-century botanical illustration.

In the early 1900s, Amanda Almira Newton worked at the heart of American agricultural science. Her task was to document the 'specimen' with total fidelity. This avocado study is a masterclass in observational realism. Newton perfectly renders the transition from the waxy, dark rind to the soft, buttery flesh, even capturing the subtle moisture on the central pit. As part of the USDA Pomological Collection, these works were the primary record of fruit varieties before the advent of color photography. Today, her watercolors are celebrated not just for their scientific value, but for their luminous beauty and sophisticated composition.

Original USDA watercolors are prized for their delicate washes and precision. Our archival Giclée print is digitally mastered to preserve the subtle color gradations and the fine stippling Newton used to define texture. Printed on heavyweight 100% cotton rag paper, it ensures the vibrant greens and earthy browns remain as fresh as the day they were painted.

The perfect Statement Piece for a modern kitchen, a sunlit dining room, or a gallery wall dedicated to nature. This Amanda Almira Newton Print is an exceptional gift for chefs, gardeners, and lovers of vintage scientific art.
