DESCRIPTION

SUBJECT:  Botany

PUBLISHED DATE:  1831

ANTIQUE, HAND-COLORED ENGRAVING CAREFULLY REMOVED FROM AN OLD BOOK OF BOTANICAL PRINTS, PUBLISHED 1831! 

Here is a rare, hand-colored copperplate engraving on watermarked rag paper from a botanical book of flowering plants published 1831 in London, written and edited by B. Maund, F.L.S.   This delightful four-to-a-page format of delicately engraved flowers, many of which were cultivated in the Royal Gardens, are included in the collections of Victoria and Albert Museums, listed as the finest botanical miniatures produced.   Some of the finest British botanical artists of the early 19th Century contributed to the work.  Along with Edwin D. Smith, the artists were primarily women; Mrs. Withers, Mrs. Edward Bury, and Miss S. Maund. 

 This is a great, unique picture to give as a gift or add to your own home decor.

CONDITION

"VERY GOOD"

THERE ARE NO TEARS, FOXING, WATER DAMAGE OR OTHER FLAWS OF THAT TYPE ON THE PICTURE.

  This print would be rated in excellent condition but for the library stamp that was found in the bottom right hand corner.   It has been very carefully removed so as to be nearly unnoticeable.   The paper in the area where it was removed became thinner and has been reinforced from behind with acid free materials.   They are not seen from the front and won't be seen at all after being matted.    All steps possible were taken to protect and preserve this wonderful old print!   If not for the stamp this print would be in excellent condition.   Other sites have these listed at up to $150.00!

PLEASE USE THE CLOSE-UP FUNCTION TO SEE DETAILED CONDITION OF THE PICTURE.

    THE PAPER HAS A MATTE FINISH, BUT EACH OF THE COLORS IN THE PLANTS HAVE A SLIGHT SATIN FINISH AND THE PAGE HAS A BLANK REVERSE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR REQUESTS PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE MAKING YOUR PURCHASE.

* ALL PRINTS/PICTURES AFTER BEING MATTED ARE WRAPPED IN TISSUE PAPER, PUT INTO A CLEAR CELLOPHANE BAG AND PUT BETWEEN TWO SUPPORTS TO KEEP THEM SAFE DURING SHIPPING.

THEY ARE  SENT IN A RIGID MAILER or A BOX (as is appropriate for the number of pictures in the order).*

ALL IMAGE SIZES ARE APPROXIMATE.

IMAGE SIZE:    4.75" x 6.25"   (measured without the white border included.)

MAT BOARD SIZE:   9.00" x 12.00" (standard size.)
