Vintage Print, White Campion, Flowers of the Field "la Lychnis alba" from the book A Voi Bimbi by by Edoardo Gioja (AR-A738)
 
This print comes from an Italian Children's book from 1911 called A Voi Bimbi. It is a collection of color prints depicting critters and plants. 
Here is a botanical illustration of Silene latifolia, commonly known as white campion. The artwork, signed by "Eduardo Gioja Roma 1910," showcases the plant's characteristics with delicate detail. The white flowers, each with five deeply notched petals, are prominently featured, along with the plant's hairy stems and leaves. The illustration captures the plant's overall structure, from its upright growth habit to its branching stems. 
White campion is a plant native to Eurasia and North Africa, but it has been introduced to other parts of the world, including North America. It is often found in open habitats such as pastures, wastelands, and along roadsides. The plant is known for its night-blooming flowers, which attract moths as pollinators. It can be either a summer or winter annual, biennial, or short-lived perennial. The flowers typically open in the evening and close by noon the following day.
