About the Artist
Davis, Sacker & Perkins was a prominent American printing and lithography firm active in the late nineteenth century. Known for their precise educational imagery, they contributed to a period when botanical illustration was essential for scientific communication and agricultural advancement. Their work reflects an era when collaboration between artists and scientists brought the natural world to a wider audience through beautifully crafted prints.
These workshops played a vital role in standardizing botanical knowledge, making detailed plant studies accessible beyond academic circles. Collectors of science themed wall art and vintage illustration value this legacy for its blend of artistry and scientific rigor.
The Artwork
Created during a time when coffee was gaining global significance, this plate of Coffea Arabica served both scientific and commercial purposes. In the 1880s, accurate botanical illustrations like this one supported the cultivation and trade of crops that shaped economies and daily life. The print was likely used as a reference in educational settings and agricultural manuals, reflecting the era’s fascination with cataloguing the world’s flora.
By presenting the coffee plant in detail, the artwork highlights the intersection of natural history and commerce, capturing a moment when scientific illustration played a key role in understanding and disseminating knowledge about important crops.
Style & Characteristics
The image features a central coffee stem with broad, deep green leaves, delicate clusters of white blossoms, and berries transitioning from yellow to deep red. The artist’s fine linework and subtle shading emphasize botanical accuracy, while the clean, neutral background keeps the focus on the plant’s structure.
The palette is dominated by rich greens and crisp whites, with warm touches in the ripening fruit. The overall effect is calm and instructive, characteristic of nineteenth-century botanical prints. This style makes it a timeless addition to any collection of botanical prints.
In Interior Design
This botanical print of the coffee plant is well suited for kitchens, breakfast nooks, or coffee corners, where it quietly celebrates daily rituals. It also brings a scholarly touch to offices or studios, adding visual interest without distraction.
Pairing it with wood accents, classic frames, or soft wall colors enhances its vintage charm. For a curated look, display it alongside culinary or plant-themed works from our kitchen wall decor collection, creating a harmonious natural history gallery.
