Primroses by Harry Lane | Cheerful 1945 Still Life

Primroses by Harry Lane is a bright, inviting still life lithograph printed in 1945, showcasing Lane’s gift for turning everyday flowers into radiant, saturated color compositions that bring cheerful vintage charm to any wall.

A charming detail to notice: a retro wooden rooster figurine stands next to the vase — a quaint nod to cozy mid-century kitchens and cottage décor. This playful touch makes Primroses feel personal and nostalgic, perfect for collectors who love vintage folk art details.

Originally printed by Catalda Fine Arts, this classic floral is part of our Harry Lane series — style it solo or pair it with Roses, Anemones, Pansies, or Cyclamen for a timeless 1940s floral wall. Choose the medium size (19" × 16") for a crisp look, or the large version (22" × 26") with a soft pink border that frames your wall beautifully without extra effort.

Each piece is an authentic “new vintage” find — never framed, never displayed, preserved flat since printing and sourced directly from unopened mid-century stock.
