Pierre Jean François Turpin (1775-1840) was possibly the greatest botanical genius of all the French
botanical painters of his day … In particular, his drawings of botanical details
have rarely been surpassed. ... (Blunt). With Pierre-Antoine Poiteau he
collaborated in some of the most important botanical publications of the early
years of the nineteenth century. In the finely illustrated botanical part of the
Dictionnaire … the plates by several engravers were issued uncoloured or
coloured.

Trapaceae - Trapa natans - Trapa bicornis
From: Flore des serres et des jardins de l’Europe by Charles Lemaire and others.
Gand [Gent], Louis van Houtte, 1852, volume 8, plate 812. Tinted lithograph of scenery (sheet 238 x 159 mm). Text enclosed:
Récolte des fruits, en Chine.€ 30
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.

Trapaceae - Trapa natans [?] - Tribulastrum affricamum D. Lippi
From: Les dons merveilleux et diversement coloriés de la nature dans le règne végétal by Pierre Joseph Buchoz.
Paris, 1779-1783. Hand-coloured engraving (sheet 457 x 423 mm; impression 334 x 210 mm; under passe-partout). Two marginal corners cut out and
a small imperfection.€ 100
This is one of the more important works of the
copious Pierre Joseph Buc’hoz. It containts two hundred colored plates of
varying merit, artistically and botanically; but, except for an occasional note
at the foot of a plate, it contains no descriptions (Hunt). Some plates have
their number been deleted in the press, due to their previous use in other
works. Buchoz is also spelled as Buch’oz or Buc’hoz.
