[ 03 ] The Collector's Note
Two decades of markets, estate sales and dusty warehouses, one crate at a time.
Paper Orchards began as a single Jaffa orange wrap found folded inside a secondhand book. What followed was twenty years of tracking down printers, packers and pomological societies across four continents, preserving the fragile graphic history of the fruit trade before it disappears for good.
