Ophioglossum scandens [?] From: Histoire universelle du règne végétal, ou nouveau dictionnaire physique et économique de toutes les plantes qui croissent sur la surface du globe; … by Pierre Joseph Buchoz. Paris, Brunet, 1775-1780. Engraving with plant names (uncut sheet 260 x 420 mm). Text missing. € 65
This print is among
1200 plates from this most extensive work, published from 1775-1780 by the
extremely prolific author Pierre Joseph Buchoz (1731-1807, also spelled as
Buch’oz or Buc’hoz). He was a French physician and naturalist who served as
physician to the king of Poland. He left his post to pursue his interest in
natural history and published vast illustrated folios on botany, books on
mineralogy, agriculture, ornithology and medicine. The attractive plates are
mostly based on original drawings in the Collection des Vélins of the
Muséum d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris. Artists’ names on the the
copper-engravings seldom occur and as engraver Fessard is sometimes mentioned.* Pritzel 1325; Dunthorne 59; Blunt & Stearn pp. 158-160; Nissen BBI 287; Stafleu & Cowan 876; Johnston 524. www.meemelink.com · index · Pteridophyta |
