This print showcases an exquisite engraving of "The Laurel" from the late 19th century. The chromolithography, created for Guerin-Boutron chocolates, is a testament to the artistry and innovation of that era. The Illustree Botanical Series beautifully captures the essence of various plants, with this particular piece highlighting the laurel. The laurel, known for its symbolic significance and medicinal properties, takes center stage in this artwork. Its lush green leaves are meticulously depicted, radiating vitality and health. This chromo engraving serves as a visual ode to nature's healing power. Intriguingly anonymous yet masterfully executed, this print invites us into a world where botanical wonders intertwine with sweet indulgence.

Let "The Laurel" transport you into a realm where flowers hold secrets and sweetness becomes medicine for both body and
