About this work
Jessie King made this print called Apple Blossom in 1908. It’s just a simple print on paper, but it shows her skill with flowers and patterns. The museum calls it part of a set she made for Gowan & Gray Ltd.
The interesting thing is that King often worked like Charles Rennie Mackintosh. He led the Art Nouveau style that loved flowing lines and nature.
