Alfred John Wise (1908-1985) was part of the last generation of important botanical artists before the introduction of colour photography. With private access to Alfred’s extensive archive of exquisite, hand drawn sketches and paintings, Romo have created Gardenia, a charming collection of fabrics that wonderfully embody his passion for botanical illustrations. Perfectly harmonised with one another and remaining true to Alfred’s original drawings, these beautiful prints and fine embroideries honour the artistry and complexity behind the skill of botanical illustration.
