Film Reel Botanical Plate Art Print Poster, Vintage Cinema Herbarium

A vintage botanical-plate illustration where film reels, curling 35mm strips and a clapperboard are drawn as if pressed and catalogued by a Victorian naturalist. This framed art print is for the cinephile who also loves old libraries, apothecary jars and handwritten labels. It brings warmth and wit to a study, hallway or reading nook.

Botanical plates were once the internet of their day, careful hand-drawn records meant to preserve and classify the living world. Applying that same reverent eye to the machinery of film treats cinema as something worth pressing between the pages and keeping forever.

• Sprocket holes and film curls drawn as delicate leaf veins and tendrils
• Mock latin specimen labels in period handwriting
• Warm aged paper with authentic foxing and plate texture
