Meet M.M.V. 5.11.1876. A botanical time capsule on a checkerboard.
An archival floral by M.M.V., dated May 11, 1876 and sourced from the Smithsonian American Art Museum, is dropped onto a bold checkerboard field. Soft reds, yellows, purples, and greens push against the grid, so it feels part vintage sketchbook, part graphic print.
Lightweight silk habotai keeps it easy to throw on, but the story behind it gives it staying power.
