Description
EAST END PRINTS have collaborated with the Natural History Museum to create a beautiful collection of illustrative collages and prints from the museum's archives. Made in the UK, this vintage illustrated print depicts buzzing bumblebees and purple hyacinth flowers. The giclée art printing process and 210gsm acid-free archival paper create an exhibition-quality art print with long-lasting colours that more closely resemble the artist's materials and tones. A digital form of the original work is stored and then printed using a commercial printer and pigment-based inks. The print is presented with an acrylic glaze that's optically the same as glass yet lighter in weight making it easier and safer to hang. Ready to hang on your wall, it's framed in obeche wood in a choice of finishes. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love this print because it combines a scientific, vintage feel with a modern simplicity that can really elevate various interiors. It works particularly well in eclectic, botanical, or study spaces, adding a touch of natural history charm. Practical styling tips include pairing it with other nature-inspired artwork or placing it within a gallery wall for visual interest. To really make it pop, consider mounting it against a neutral wall or within a minimalist setting to let the detailed illustration take centre stage. Its framed finish also lends itself well to both traditional and contemporary interiors, making it a versatile addition that adds both colour and character.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
