Alpine Flowers (1) The colored wood engravings
(xylographs ) below are cut from the first edition of David Wooster's published
by George Bell, London, 1872-73. These exquisite wood engravings were made from
multiple
blocks, prepared and printed by Benjamin Fawcett, and based on
watercolors of A. Francis Lydon. The plates have a small and
inconspicuours library stamp on the reverse side. The ink is
light and does not show through.
"This work had its origin in a desire to aid in some measure the efforts which have lately been made by several writers to restore to popular favour the very beautiful little plants which are mostly natives of high latitudes, and which for some years have been treated with unmerited neglect." --Preface |
