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; Nissen BBI 444 & I p. 248; Blunt & Stearn p. 142. www.meemelink.com · index · Alismataceae |
