Explore the historic journey of Sarah Featon (1848-1927), a distinguished botanical artist born in the mid-19th century in London. Her relocation to New Zealand was a pivotal moment, heralding the start of a significant artistic legacy. In Gisborne, Sarah and her husband Edward Featon collaborated on The Art Album of New Zealand Flora. This seminal work aimed to rectify misconceptions about New Zealand’s plant life, marrying Sarah’s artistic creations with Edward’s enlightening narratives. Despite her considerable contributions to art, Sarah encountered financial hardships later in her career, resulting in the sale of her pieces. Her artistic legacy endures, with her masterpieces preserved at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
Our Wall Calendar, titled Floral Wonders of New Zealand – A Botanist’s Dream, is an exquisite gift choice for educators, plant enthusiasts, and art aficionados. Each month reveals a meticulously restored floral illustration from Sarah Featon’s anthology, elevating it beyond a mere calendar. It weaves together strands of art, education, and utility, offering more than just a way to track dates. It invites you on an enlightening expedition through New Zealand’s floral splendor. As a distinctive history-themed present, it allows for the framing and preservation of these botanical illustrations, enabling you to curate a perpetual gallery of nature’s artistry in any personal or professional setting.
