Many volumes of botanical illustrations produced during this period, such as those by Celia Rosser and Pierre-Joseph Redouté , are still popular today. The Flanders Poppies Tapestry / Throw depicts an illustration typical of the heyday of botanical illustration. A beautifully detailed poppy is forms the central illustration, flanked by those of other plants and butterflies. An antique script runs across the parchment colored background.
