About the Item

French botanical flower engraving, 1818. Colour-printed stipple engraving by J Lambert after Pierre Turpin (1775-1840) From Francois Pierre Chaumeton's 'Flore Medicale' which portrayed a variety of flowers, trees and herbs which could be used for treating illnesses. The engravings were produced during the great period of French colour printing using the stipple-engraving process pioneered by the great botanical artist Pierre-Jospeh Redoute. The artist is the celebrated Pierre Jean Francois Turpin (1775-1840), pupil of Redoute. He is considered one of the greatest floral and botanical illustrators during the Napoleonic Era and afterwards. The engraving is accompanied by the original French descriptive text. Strychnos ignatii is a tree in the Loganiaceae family, native to the Philippines, particularly in Catbalogan and parts of China. The plant was first described by the Moravian Jesuit working in the Philippines, brother Georg Kamel who named its fruit as the bean of St. Ignatius, after the founder of his religious order. 210mm by 130mm (sheet) PLEASE NOTE : If you are interested in more than one of these, let me know and I can list them together with one shipping cost.
