Description :

Framed print of Juanita Storch’s “Santa Rosa, California—The Home of Luther Burbank,” featuring a woman holding fruit above a landscape of orchards, flowers, and distant mountains. A mottled blue mat and gold-tone metal frame complement the illustration’s yellow, green, and blue palette.

Highlights

  • Reproduction of Juanita Storch’s 1925 Santa Rosa watercolor.
  • Celebrates the California city’s connection to horticulturist Luther Burbank.
  • Luther Burbank Home & Gardens informational label on the reverse.
  • Nielsen metal frame with gold-tone finish and hanging hardware.
  • Appealing to collectors of California history, botanical imagery, and regional advertising art.

Historical Note

The composition connects Santa Rosa’s agricultural landscape with the reputation of Luther Burbank, whose plant-breeding work helped make the city internationally known.
