Vegetable Images

A growing collection of vintage drawings and illustrations of vegetables. Many of the old botanical prints specialized in flowers and it is a bit harder to find ones of vegetables and vegetable plants.

After running Reusable Art for over 5 years, it’s exciting to finally find some great vegetable images to include. For some reason, there are plenty of vintage materials on commercially growing vegetables but very few of them had usable drawings of the vegetables they discussed.

Thanks to a wonderfully illustrated book full of hand-painted botanical prints, the vegetable images category was planted.
