It's printed on the reverse side as well, but the paper is so heavy that nothing shows through. This pretty stem of simple spring blossoms would be ever so dramatic framed.

Joseph Prestele was a botanical/agricultural/horticultural artist from a family of botanical artists. He contributed to the documentation of fruits & flowers through his lithographic artwork in a time when accurate color reproductions for publications were expensive, difficult, & rare. He was a renowned lithographer using stone engraving & taught his sons Joseph Junior & William his craft of stone engraving lithography, watercolors, chromolithography, & variations of stone lithography. Joseph Prestele & his two sons enjoyed international recognition for their precise renderings of plants & fruit, which remain as fresh to this day as when they were first painted in the mid to late 1800s.
