Fagaceae - Castanea chrysophylla From: Flore des serres et des jardins de l’Europe by Charles Lemaire and others. Gand [Gent], Louis van Houtte, 1857, volume 12, plate 1184. Chromolithograph finished by hand (sheet 160 x 242 mm). Text enclosed.
€ 45
The founder,
publisher and part-editor of this lavish Belgian periodical was Louis
van Houtte, the propietor of the largest nursery of its time on the
continent. It appeared monthly for almost 40 years and was published by
his own printing office in the middle of the gardens, the Horto van
Houtteano. All the plants shown were for sale in his nursery and include
many exotics. The work is notable for the craftmanship of the Belgian
lithographers Severeyns, Stroobant and De Pannemaker, who had mastered the
art of colour-printing from stone. * Nissen BBI 2254; Great flower books p. 84; Stafleu & Cowan 15.921. |
