George Edward Madeley – Poisonous Mushrooms: Irritating Poisons Print (1840–1850)

Both haunting and beautiful, this 1840s botanical illustration by George Edward Madeley explores the dark side of nature — poisonous mushrooms known for their irritating and toxic effects. Rendered in striking detail and earthy tones, these fungi appear almost sculptural, inviting curiosity and caution in equal measure. A fascinating piece of Victorian scientific art, this print is perfect for naturalists, cottagecore collectors, and anyone drawn to the mysterious elegance of the forest floor.

Sized at 8×10", this print is ideal for framing and makes a striking addition to any home, office, or gallery wall.

Printed on heavy 60lb matte photo paper with a soft white finish, this piece offers exceptional detail and ink vibrancy. The acid-free surface ensures longevity, while the 10 mil thickness gives it a luxurious feel worthy of fine art.
