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 · Asparagaceae |
