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). Partly stained.

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.
