The Old Man Banksia (Banksia serrata) is one of Australia's most recognisable native plants, named for its gnarled, weathered appearance. First collected by Joseph Banks at Botany Bay in 1770, this species became the type specimen for the entire Banksia genus.

Native Habitat

Banksia serrata grows along Australia's eastern coast from Queensland to Victoria, thriving in sandy coastal soils and heathlands. Its saw-toothed leaves and cylindrical flower spikes are a familiar sight in sandstone bushland around Sydney.

Cultural Heritage

Central to Aboriginal fire management practices for thousands of years. Communities harvested sweet nectar from the flower spikes and used the smouldering woody cones to carry fire between camps. The Cadigal people knew this plant as wiriyagan.

The Story Behind the Print

Every print in our collection begins with a historical botanical illustration, many over 150 years old, sourced from institutional archives and scientific expeditions that first documented Australia's extraordinary native flora.

These illustrations were originally created by botanical artists who spent weeks in the field, working directly from living specimens. The level of detail in each plate reflects a scientific tradition where accuracy was paramount and beauty was a natural consequence of careful observation.

We reproduce each illustration using FSC-certified archival paper and calibrated colour processes that preserve the subtlety of the original work. The result is a print that honours the craft of the original artist while meeting contemporary standards for sustainable production.
