Tangerine | Mid-Century Botanical Still Life
Tangerine, reproduced in 1950 from an 18th-century Chinese watercolor, depicts a branch heavy with fruit, blossoms, and a sliced citrus segment. Its vivid color palette and graceful arrangement embody the delicacy and balance of traditional Chinese botanical painting while appealing to mid-century decorative sensibilities.
Published by J. Verner Reed and printed in New York by both Tricorn Press and Triton Press, this mid-sized collotype exists in authentic editions from each printer. Subtle differences in paper tone and ink density can be seen between versions, a hallmark of the printing process rather than later reproduction.
Preserved flat in our family archive for decades—never framed or displayed—this is true “new vintage” in mint condition. Fewer than 50 prints remain from this final archived stock. If you prefer one printer edition (Tricorn or Triton), please indicate your choice in the order comments at checkout and we will accommodate whenever possible.

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"?
