NYBG Himalayan Flowers Placemats

Bring the allure of faraway mountains to your table when you use placemats decorated with exotic, colorful flowers from the Himalayas. These splendid images are by the 19th-century master lithographer and botanical artist Walter Hood Fitch, who created the illustrations for plant explorer Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker’s Illustrations of Himalayan Plants (1855).

Sturdily made to last, the cork-backed placemats can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. The set comes elegantly packaged in a custom New York Botanical Garden box with silver foil stamping. An insert provides information on the original work of botanical art from the Rare Book Collections of the Mertz Library here at the Garden.

Set of 4 placemats, each a different design. 16¾” x 11¼”
