During World War II, the original plates were destroyed in a bomb attack. It is therefore not possible to print more.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"6vn6q\" data-offset-key=\"4el9p-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"4el9p-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"4el9p-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\">Once in the 1990s, Norsk Hydro decided to dispose of the original prints they still had in store. Fortunately, a small group of employees were allowed to take them over and they have been stored in a barn until now. The natural history museum in Oslo have now been allowed to sell them in their shop\u2026and, YES, I got that dandelion print for Xmas and it&#8217;s now hanging proudly on my wall!
