Published in 1962, Elfriede Martha Abbe's 'Plants of Virgil's Georgics' represents a masterful intersection of classical Roman poetry and mid-century botanical illustration. Abbe, a distinguished American artist and wood engraver, meticulously carved these botanical specimens to honor Virgil's agricultural hexameters. Each print is reproduced with absolute fidelity to the original woodcuts, capturing the architectural precision and organic texture of Abbe's lines. To ensure a sophisticated display, every format—including our canvas option—is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in its true, uncropped proportions, providing a refined, gallery-ready presentation.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
