This vintage illustration features a vase filled with a beautiful bouquet of chrysanthemums. There is a single chrysanthemum on the table top beside the vase. The vase itself has an etching of chrysanthemums on it.
Here is a black and white clip art version of the illustration.
I scanned the original image from Beeton’s New Dictionary of Every-Day Gardening, circa 1899.

what craft or art ideas would you suggest for the Geranium and flowers clip art? Thank you for sharing.

You’re welcome Betsy.
I might use this for a journalling card in a junk journal. I would print it out, ink the edges with distress ink and glue tea-dyed paper to the back. It could also be used as vintage ephemera on a scrapbook layout. Flowers are always nice on handmade greeting cards as well.
