Collection: Dorothy Falcon Platt

Dorothy Falcon Platt was a gifted mid-century botanical illustrator whose delicate studies of flowering plants come alive through the vivid detail of collotype printing. Produced around 1950 by Triton Press Inc. in New York, these mint-condition prints capture Platt’s mastery of color and composition — from exotic climbers like the Flame Vine (Bignonia Venusta) to classic garden staples like Hibiscus and Geraniums.

Each collotype in this collection is part of an untouched archive acquired decades ago and preserved flat ever since — true “new vintage” botanical art that’s never been framed or displayed. Platt’s work brings a graceful balance of art and science, with many prints featuring her elegant handwritten captions noting plant names and their native regions, like Guatemala or the tropics.

Whether displayed alone as a statement or grouped for a timeless botanical gallery wall, these prints celebrate the enduring beauty of vintage florals, mid-century craftsmanship, and the tradition of botanical study.
