This is a just simply gorgeous collection of wood engraved prints. Lydon and Fawcett, the artist and engraver for this work, did the wood engravings for some of the other truly wonderful 19th century color plate books, such as Francis Morris's History of British Birds (1849-57); and Houghton's British Fishes (1879). These plates are not chromolithographs, through they were executed at a time that chromolithography was starting to become dominant Some flowers are found on their own sheets (such as you see above). Other's share space with one or two other flowers.
