Fern Print: a Unique Method of Preserving Nature
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios

Preserving plants such as ferns through the process of producing a fern print became immensely popular in England in the 19th century. The popular species of fern were rendered into folios and monographs by the artists and collected by the art enthusiasts and nature lovers. Ferns became extremely popular in England in the nineteenth century and the large volume of fern print produced during this period is a proof of the popularity of this plant. In fact, the Victorian era witnessed the use of the fern print as a popular decorative motif. It is believed that the art of nature printing originated in Vienna in the middle of the nineteenth century. These prints have remained an object of interest for many, both for aesthetic reasons and for scientific purposes.

The prints have also gained immense popularity in the recent years as a visually delightful wall décor that provides the soothing effect that is usually imparted by the presence of real plants in the house. These prints are available in pleasing soft tones of green that are an aesthetic delight to look and render an elegant touch to the ambiance, no matter what the setting is. That is to say that prints look equally enticing in a homely drawing room as they do in a corporate meeting room. Some prints may also be available in brownish overtones, to render an 'antique' look to the fern print. Most print sellers will offer to impart the 'antique' look to any fern print in their collection. The brownish toned prints are commonly known as the 'Sepia Prints'.

These prints are produced by many artists who use the traditional methods to produce the plant prints. Popular species of ferns are reproduced through the fern paintings. Unique varieties of fern are taken from the wild and a print is produced without disturbing or uprooting the plant. In the recent years, the print has become so popular that it can be seen embellishing the window curtains, apparel, tapestry, bedding collections, keepsake books, albums and even shoes.
