Nebraska State Flower Print | Vintage Goldenrod Stamp Wall Art

One goldenrod plume, hundreds of florets, and a stamp frame that never went to press. This Nebraska state flower print is drawn in ochre brown on mustard, with The Cornhusker State letterpressed below the perforations.

About the artwork

Ochre brown on mustard, one ink throughout. One tall pyramidal plume of massed tiny florets rises through the middle of the stamp, tapering as it climbs so the shape reads as a single vertical spire rather than a bunch of separate flowers. A fern ornament fills the lower-left corner and the 1¢ denomination sits in a circle opposite. The perforated edge is drawn as real die-cut scallops on a plain cream sheet, so the stamp sits on the page as an object. Portrait, 2:3.

Why you'll love it

• One shape, cleanly stated. A single upright plume gives this state the simplest silhouette in the series, which is why it holds up so well at small sizes.
• Mustard that reads as a warm neutral. Ochre brown on mustard behaves less like a bright yellow and more like aged paper, so it never shouts.
• Built as a set of fifty. Every state shares the same frame, denomination and typography, so any combination lines up.
• A gift for someone from Nebraska. Home state on the wall, without souvenir kitsch.
• Made to order. Printed after you buy, colour-managed, never warehoused.

Sizes and materials

• Paper — archival matte, rolled and unframed. Thirteen sizes in all: 8" x 12" through 30" x 40", plus A4–A1.
• Matte canvas — stretched on a wooden bar, no glare, ready to hang. 12" x 16" to 30" x 40".
• Framed canvas — solid wood floating frame in white, black, espresso or natural. 12" x 16" to 30" x 40".
• Pigment-based archival inks, rated to resist fading for decades indoors.

Styling it at home

Ochre brown on mustard is a dry, earthy warm, closer to raw sienna than to gold, so it belongs in rooms built on wood, wool and clay rather than in cool grey schemes. Oak, natural rattan and unfinished pine frames all disappear into it; white lacquer gives the mustard a harder edge if you want more contrast. Because the plume is narrow and vertical, this one suits tight spaces — a hallway between doors, the strip beside a kitchen window, a stairwell — where 12" x 18" or A3 fits better than a wide print. Two or three of the warmer states stacked vertically in the same corridor turn it into a run.

Shipping and care

Unframed prints ship rolled in a protective tube. Framed canvas arrives ready to hang. Keep prints out of direct sunlight to protect the colour, and dust canvas with a dry, soft cloth.

Questions people ask

What size should I get? Above a console, desk or shelf, 12" x 18" or 16" x 24". Above a sofa, bed or mantel, go 24" x 36" or larger so the print holds the wall.

Does it come framed? Paper prints ship unframed and fit standard frames. Choose a framed canvas if you would rather skip the framing shop.

Can I collect more than one state? Yes. All fifty share one format and one denomination, so any combination hangs as a matched set.
