Carry a little piece of a French classroom. This canvas tote features the melon vine (Cucumis melo) from an 1873 French school book lithograph, hand-colored and shown with its numbered botanical details just as students would have seen them. The original caption reads Melon, and the numbered studies show: 1 Whole plant, 2nd variety, 2 Flower seen from above, 3 Section of the flower, 4 Open flower, 5 Fruit cut crosswise, 6 Whole fruit, 7 Seed.
Use it for the farmers market, the library, the garden center or the weekend away. It's a sweet gift for gardeners, botanical art collectors and anyone who loves vintage French style.
