A seed pod rendered in stone lithograph. Honest, precise, and quietly beautiful.
Stone lithographs from Schmidt Litho Company of San Francisco, printed for Lone Star Seed Co of San Antonio in the 1940s — images so detailed they were left without pricing until the 1950s, when the packets were finally filled in and distributed. This one never made it to a garden. New old stock, never used, in excellent condition with only the faintest age yellowing. The Lima Bush Bean illustration has the clean, documentary quality of the best mid-century botanical art.
Frame it alone, group it with others, or add it to one of our framed seed packet displays. Lovely for a kitchen, a potting shed, or as a small gift for anyone who loves the garden.
