A wreath of roses and wild flowers hangs against a pale, weathered wall above a ledge, like a votive offering. La Farge's flower paintings of the 1860s, made at Newport, Rhode Island, are among the most original American still lifes of their time. It is in the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.
