Hibiscus by Dorothy Platt | Tropical 1950 Botanical Collotype

Hibiscus by Dorothy Platt is a lush vintage botanical collotype printed in 1950, showcasing bold, tropical hibiscus blooms in soft peach, buttery yellow, and sunny gold. Celebrated for their large, showy petals and vibrant garden appeal, hibiscus flowers bring an instant splash of tropical charm — beautifully captured in Platt’s crisp mid-century study.

Printed by Triton Press Inc. on fine art paper, each authentic collotype comes from unopened mid-century archives — never framed, never displayed, and preserved flat for decades. A true “new vintage” treasure, available exclusively through Pink Flamingos.

  • Size: 23 × 17 inches (58 × 43 cm) — Portrait format
  • Medium: Collotype on paper
  • Condition: Mint — uncirculated, vibrant colors
  • Includes: Care sheet
  • Availability: Limited archived stock from 1950

Pairing Ideas: Pair Hibiscus with other Dorothy Platt prints like Angel Wing Begonia, Clematis, Bignonia Venusta, Buseri Phaseolus, or Geranium for a colorful tropical-inspired floral wall.

More information

Just like the majority of our inventory at Pink Flamingos, this listing is vintage and has never been displayed or used. It's from limited, unopened stock sourced directly from the original manufacturer or distributer. As a result, its colors are more vibrant than those typically found in similarly aged prints, leading us to classify it as "new." Curious about new vintage?

Please note that this listing is for an unframed authentic, genuine old print published in the early-to-mid 20th century using quality paper and inks. It reflects the colors and styles popular in decorative accessories of that era. The patina resulting from any minor discoloration or fading is indicative of its age and contributes to its uniqueness.

What is "New Vintage"?

"New vintage" refers to original, vintage artwork from the early 20th century that has never been purchased, used, or displayed by a consumer. At Pink Flamingos, we offer a remarkable collection of these pristine prints, sourced directly from manufacturers. Unlike other vintage artwork that may have faded or aged over time, our "new vintage" prints retain their vibrant colors and impeccable condition. With their untouched allure, these artworks carry a unique historical value and provide collectors with an opportunity to own a piece of art history that is both rare and exceptionally well-preserved.
