About this Item

An impressive original colour antique print, (size 18 x 27cm): chromolithographed by P. De Pannemaeker. These lithographic plates were printed in colour from multiple stones and often finished by hand - the quality of the lithography is exceedingly high, producing rich, strong colours. They were published in Belgium for one of the most important and sumptuous of all nineteenth century European horticultural journals - L'ILLUSTRATION HORTICOLE, which was issued in monthly parts (sometimes more frequently) with plates and accompanying text, in French, and loosely bound in printed paper wrappers. This original print is very good condition and supplied with the original text: a striking and decorative image eminently suitable for mounting and framing. (L'Illustration Horticole was published in its entirety over 43 years. Between the years 1854-1868 it was edited by Charles Lemaire and published by Ambroise Verschaffelt in Ghent. In 1869 it was purchased and edited by by Jean J. Linden. The periodical finally came to an end in 1896. Please Note: we do not break good books for plates. Our plates have either been purchased loose or have come from books/monthly parts that are so defective or incomplete that they are irreparable.) Size: Size approx. 18 x 27cm.
