Dioscoreaceae - Dioscorea pyrenaica
From: Herbier de la flore française by Louis Antoine Cusin & Edmonde Ansberque. Procédé de
reproduction dit phytoxygraphique. 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). Marginally partly slightly
stained. Without text as issued.€ 45
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.
