Buckeye Botanical Prints Fundraiser

Chadwick Arboretum is home to the Dr. Emanuel Rudolph Botanical Print Collection, comprised of 700 botanical prints bequeathed to Chadwick Arboretum by Dr Rudolph himself. 

Two of Dr. Rudolph's prints in his collection were the Bottlebrush Buckeye and the Red Buckeye. These have been reprinted and framed as a fundraiser for our public garden and arboretum - home of the Buckeyes!  These hand-colored lithographs were originally created in 1891 by Isaac Sprague
