Iridaceae - Iris sisyrinchium
- Gynandriris sisyrinchium From: Herbier de la flore française by Louis Antoine Cusin & Edmonde Ansberque. Procédé de reproduction dit phytoxygraphique. Publié sous le patronage du Service du Parc et des Jardins de la ville de Lyon. Lyon, 1876. Nature-printing with hand-coloured flower detail (sheet ca. 260 x 375 mm). Slightly stained. Without text as issued. € 35
The plates are reproductions of actual specimens and give the appearance of the plants very
accurately. The flower details are separately drawn at the bottom of most plates
and hand-coloured. … for though the photoxygraphic plates of the twenty-five
volumes of the Herbier de la Flore Française of Louis Antoine Cusin
(1824-1901) and Edme Ansberque (1828-1905), published at Lyons between 1867 and
1876, are of considerable botanic importance, they are aestetically
disappointing (Blunt & Stearn p. 142). However the plants are carefully
selected and nicely arranged.* Fischer, E.: Zweihundert Jahre Naturselbstdruck 96; Blunt & Stearn p. 142; Nissen BBI 444 + I p. 248.
