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 · Alliaceae |
