Angel Wing Begonia by Dorothy Platt | Elegant 1950 Botanical Collotype

Angel Wing Begonia by Dorothy Platt is a vivid vintage botanical collotype printed in 1950, featuring lush clusters of delicate, pendulous blooms in shades of deep red and pink with broad, wing-shaped leaves. Known botanically as Begonia coccinea and beloved by gardeners for its striking foliage and showy flowers, this plant inspired Platt’s graceful mid-century study, rendered with crisp color and fine detail.

Printed by Triton Press Inc. on fine paper, each authentic collotype comes from unopened mid-century stock, stored flat and never framed or displayed — a true “new vintage” piece available exclusively through Pink Flamingos.
