Erythroxylon Coca

$220.00

This hauntingly beautiful print is one of six botanical patterns in the Collected Patterns Black & White Giclée series.

Erythroxylon Coca is native to South America and is best known for its alkaloids, a powerful stimulant called cocaine. Walter Hill cultivated it in the Brisbane Botanic Gardens for its medicinal properties and as a substitute for tea, coffee, tobacco and opium. Including it in this series illustrates the importance of Botanical Gardens as hot-houses for experimentation, which was one of their main functions.

Digitally printed on Hahnemühle 100% Cotton Rag Paper with Epson long-life pigment inks by Brisbane’s most esteemed archival printer, this print is truly gallery quality. It’s one of a very limited edition of only 10 impressions and is highly collectible.

Each print is signed, numbered, titled on the back and wrapped in acid-free tissue. Also included are details about the print, the series it’s part of and confirmation of the edition number purchased.

This print is unframed and will require framing for display. Due to the fragile nature of the ink, the print can be shipped direct to your framer, and this is recommended. If you prefer the print to be delivered to you, avoid touching the surface, as it will mark.

Ships worldwide in a strong, non-bendable tube.
