Hof- und Staatsdruckerei. 1855-1856. 6 nature prints (Naturselbstdrucke) on heavy paper. Each ca. 58 x 41 cm. With printed series title, plate numbers 62, 217, 227, 255, 420 and 471, Latin plant identifications and printer’s imprint. A representative group from Ettingshausen and Pokorny’s celebrated botanical publication. Using the nature-printing process, actual specimens were transferred with exceptional precision, preserving the plants’ forms and fine venation. The selection includes grasses and flowering plants, among them Lamarckia aurea, Alyssum montanum, Epilobium roseum and Rumex obtusifolius. – Some light foxing, marginal soiling and handling marks; occasional creases, soft corners and slight edge wear, otherwise strong impressions in very good condition.
