William Baxter (1)
British Flowering Plants

The hand-colored copper-plate engravings below are cut from William Baxter's British Phaenogamous Botany, or Figures and Descriptions of the Genera of British Flowering Plants, published by Whittaker & Treacher, London, 1844.  The artists are Iaasc Russell and C. Matthews.  The coloring is fine and delicate.  Blunt regards these plates as superior to those of Sowerby.  The plates are generally clean and free of foxing.  They are toned a pleasant ivory and are not as luminous as the scans may suggest

Size: 5.25 x 8.5 inches
