We are very sorry that, due to a disasterous house fire, Allangrange Prints is temporarily closed.

Fortunately our stock was not damaged and is currently in storage.

Allangrange Prints is a small family business started by Elizabeth and Allan Cameron in the late 70's to promote Elizabeth’s paintings. Their daughter, Kirstie Evans, joined the business in the early 80’s. They started with five flower prints and gradually over the years, the stock of flower prints has been enlarged to include vegetable prints, fungi prints, fruit prints and the ever popular zodiac prints. We have also expanded to Jigsaws and Tablemats. Sadly Elizabeth and Allan have both died and Kirstie now runs the small business on her own from her home in Cornwall.

Limited Editions
The prints are mostly limited editions, with the exception of the Helleborus Niger, Abutilon, Yellow Primrose, Summer Flowers and the zodiac prints, also the little Apple and Mouse print which Elizabeth painted for her granddaughter who is nicknamed ‘Mouse’.

Canvases
All the canvases have three coats of varnish on them; so can be wiped easily. They do not require frames and are perfect for the kitchen or dining room. We publish nearly all the vegetables on canvas as well as paper, except for the January King Cabbage and the Brussel Sprout, which are only available on paper. Also available on both canvas and paper are the Red Poppy, Nerine and Aquilegia and Agapantha. The Savoy Cabbage (the first vegetable we had printed), the Cauliflower and the smaller Sunflower which were all originally paper prints, are now only available on canvas – the paper editions have run out.

Zodiac prints
The Zodiac prints were started in 1982 when Elizabeth painted a picture for her new grandchild of some of the flora and fauna that was out at the time. Her other grandchildren then demanded the same of their birth signs, and so she commenced painting all the zodiac signs with a bit of artistic licence as not all the plants were out in Scotland where she lived although they were perhaps out in Cornwall where her daughter and grandchildren lived!

Table Mats – Octagonal Tablemats and Coasters which are made in the UK. We have now sorted the quality of the tablemats, and they are melamine and will withstand temperatures of 140 and are very smart. The tablemats are 9”/23cm which is the same size as a large dinner plate so therefore do not take up extra room on the table. The octagonal shape looks very good on round and oblong tables – also rectangular and square tables! The tablemats picture vegetables, fungi or fruit. You can choose which mats you want. There are eight vegetable table mats to choose from, (six green veg, - asparagus, fennel, courgette and artichoke, cabbage and cauliflower and two red, a pepper and chili), six fungi tablemats to choose (four brown and two red) and six fruit, apple, pear, peach, quince, strawberry and raspberry. We also have matching coasters and at present we have two server mats, the cabbage and cauliflower. All are sold individually so that you can make up your own sets.

Jigsaws
All British Made. We have two varieties of jigsaws. Wooden conventional jigsaws and Acrylic Jigsaws.

Wooden Jigsaws are made for us by Wentworth, who are well known for their wooden puzzles, with quirky shaped pieces i.e. a trowel, thistle, gloves etc and there are only one or two corner pieces, so they can present a challenge. We have four with 250 pieces, Hydrangea Heads, Poppies in a field of Barley, Poppies ‘Mrs. Perry’, and Fuchsia Annabel. and three with 200 pieces, Hellibore, Viola Maggie Mott, and Michaelmas Daisy. We have also added a January King Cabbage to the range, this has 140 pieces. The 250 piece puzzles I think are fiendish, and the 200 pieces merely difficult although the easiest is the Daisy.

Acrylic Jigsaws are I think very difficult, especially the Savoy Cabbage and Cauliflower, neither of which have any straight edges or corners – the perfect present for the jigsaw addict. We also have the small zodiac jigsaws which depict the flowers of the zodiac months. These are copies of the bigger prints which depict some of the flora and fauna which flower during the appropriate month. The acrylic pieces are small and the finished jigsaw is A5 card size but have 60-80 pieces, the edges follow the shape of the flowers so the only straight edge is along the bottom! and they have no corners. I think they look very special and would make great presents, perfect for most ages, though because of the small fiddly pieces they are not suitable for children under about six or seven.

The Book of Rhododendrons
The Book of Rhododendrons is a limited edition of only 500, it was printed in Italy by Stamperia Valdonega and with a forward by Peter Cox who is a well known rhododendrologist. It is a book of 25 Rhododendron prints, all grown in Scotland except for one, R. Dalhousie which Elizabeth found in New Zealand. . The book comes with its own sleeve, each copy numbered and signed, and is a lovely book of some of Elizabeth’s favourite rhododendron paintings. .

Sadly Elizabeth died in December 2008, painting up until two weeks before her death, four days before her death she announced that she would probably only live for another two or three years! although in January 2008 she stated that ‘this year I will die’ !! either way it was very peaceful and she is missed hugely, but she leaves a wonderful legacy of her paintings and prints scattered and appreciated all over the world.

SHOWS After 25 years of exhibiting at Chelsea Flower Show they sadly no longer have space for us. We have stopped attending most shows, as age is catching up, and now only exhibit at The Cornwall Flower Show in April and the occasional Christmas Sale, but I am very happy to receive orders through our web site or a telephone call.
