Description
Pierre Joseph Buc'hoz (French, 1731-1807), physician, lawyer and naturalist.
- Sold as a set of 6.
- Hand-colored engraved plates of tulips, in matching silver leaf frames.
- A fine group of rare flower plates, the complete volume of 40 being part of Le Jardin d'Eden, which was intended as the supplement to the Collection des Fleurs de la Chine & de l'Europe, first published in 1776.
- The final tulip plate is identified as the legendary broken flame-patterned flower Semper Augustus.
- No other writer was to take such copious advantage of these two developments as Pierre-Joseph Buc'hoz; his works are characterized by the beauty of the illustrations, and their rarity owing to the small size of the print runs.
- Framed and glazed.
