Old tomato botanical drawings

BigVanVader · June 24, 2015

I love old botanical drawings and I want to have a whole wall of them in my baby girls room. Do any of you know where I could find some free or cheap ones of tomatoes? I have bought several native tree/flower ones and found some online I plan on printing off with the fancy printers at the college I work for, but I cant find any tomato ones

Just realized the title is backwards...oops

Thanks for any help!

I can't remember the site where I did see some line botanical drawings as one can see in the Vilmorin book, now in paperback.

But try here:

Look for art posters.

Sweet idea for a baby room, congrats and best wishes

I've always admired Wild Boar Farms promo of Tomato Art from Melissa Garden. Has many of the tomatoes that I'm currently growing and who can resist the last name "Garden":

The British Library has lots of free public domain botanical artwork, there may be a tomato in there somewhere if you're willing to look: https://www.flickr.com/search/?user_...text=botanical

I'd Google "public domain botanical illustrations" or something similar.
