This is a print of my original fern herbarium specimen (pressed botanical) artwork. It was made from a high-resolution scan of the original. It is available with a light or dark background.

The plant is western swordfern (Polystichum munitum) and features all of the major parts of the plant including fronds, sori, roots, and a fiddlehead! It was found in its natural habitat in Oregon and collected by a trained, degreed professional (see my personal profile). An optional, complete collection label is included in the standard location at the bottom right corner of the front of the specimen adding to its scientific appeal.

Options:
==========
SIZING - The original herbarium specimen was 11x14”. However, prints are available in 5x7”, 8x10”, 11x14” and 16x20”! Smaller sizes are printed on a natural-colored, archival-quality, heavy-weight cardstock, and 16x20” are printed on a heavy, white, poster paper.

BACKGROUND COLOR - All sizes are also available with a "Dark Background." In order to preserve the original colors of the plant, the dark background is digitally added to the artwork file prior to printing (on light-colored paper), resulting in a stunning contrast between the vibrant plant and the black background.

SCIENTIFIC COLLECTION LABEL – All sizes and background colors are also available with just the scientific name of the plant and printed artist signature in place of the collection label.
