One plant, drawn from the tip of its flowering stem to the last hair on its taproot. Belladonna is a deadly nightshade print in the old monograph tradition — a single species given an entire sheet, in sepia ink on foxed and water-stained parchment, with the dissections laid out around it like evidence.
The whole plant runs up the centre: broad ribbed leaves, drooping bell flowers in dull purple, and glossy black berries sitting in their star-shaped calyces. Below it, the taproot sprawls across the lower left in a mass of fibrous branching. Around the margins the botanist has taken it apart — an opened corolla with the stamens exposed, a longitudinal section, single anthers, a berry cut across to show the seed chambers, and strips of magnified tissue along the bottom edge.

PRINT OPTIONS
You can bring this piece home in the format that suits your space:
• POSTER PRINT — professional-grade 200 GSM matte photo paper, UV-resistant archival inks, shipped rolled in a protective tube and ready to frame your way.
• STRETCHED CANVAS — gallery-wrapped over a sturdy 1.25" frame with a black border for extra depth and contrast, hanging hardware pre-installed.
• FRAMED CANVAS — your stretched canvas finished in a solid wood frame in your choice of colour, with hardware already fitted. The frame adds roughly 1/2" on each side.
Every format uses fade- and UV-resistant archival inks on sustainably sourced materials, so every hatched line and annotation stays crisp.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
• It is a monograph, not a poster. *Atropa belladonna* gets the whole sheet — stem, leaf, flower, fruit and root — which is how a real plate treats a species it takes seriously.
• The root is the part nobody else draws. A thick woody taproot splits and sprawls across the lower left in a tangle of fine fibrous branching, given as much line and attention as the flowers above it.
• The dissections make it. An opened bell flower showing its stamens, a longitudinal section through the corolla, separate anthers, a berry in its calyx, a cross-section revealing the seed chambers, and magnified tissue strips ruled along the foot of the plate.
• Two details reward standing close: a small landscape vignette in the top left with a bare tree, ruins and a low sun, and an orbital diagram in the top right — an antique specimen print with root system that is quietly stranger than it first appears.
• The parchment is properly aged: browned at the edges, foxed, water-stained in one corner, with torn margins. Only the berries and a faint wash of purple in one flower carry any depth of tone.
• It belongs where people read — a deadly nightshade botanical plate for a dark academia study, above a bookcase, over a desk, or in a run of framed plates along a hallway.

A WORD FROM US
The name means *beautiful lady*, which is a very polite thing to call a plant that can stop a heart. Renaissance women used drops of it to widen their pupils, on the theory that it made them look struck by love; it also made them half-blind, and eventually much worse. We drew this one the way a working botanist would have — flower, berry, root, and then the whole thing taken apart in the margins — because that is the only honest way to look at something this dangerous and this good-looking. Explore the rest of our dark academia collection for more, and reach out any time.
