Double-sided greeting card illustrating Carl Linnaeus’s classes of plants. Printed in England on a light cream, 300gsm carbon-neutral Italian paper, made from 100% recycled post-consumer waste.

Adapted from a hand-coloured, early twentieth century illustration. Swedish biologist Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778) classified plants according to his ‘sexual system’ which formalised the naming of organisms and revolutionised scientific taxonomy.
