Click Double your traffic. This is one of 16 antique french Pancrase Bessa prints I will be listing. Pancrase Bessa was a contemporary of P. J. Redoute. I am an interior designer and purchased these for a client 5 years ago.

First all of the prints are very vibrant but the flash didn't show the detail of the paper so I took the flash off to show just how old each print is. The size of the print is 6 1/2" x 9 7/8". This print is from the book Herbier General de L'Amateur plate 414. It is called Anemone coronaria. Var. This print is an original copper engraving with hand applied color to the flower and hand written name of flower below. This print is from 1820 close to 2 centuries old! This looks alot like a Peony flower and not a Anemone but I am not a flower expert. Pancrase Bessa is a comtemporary of P. J. Redoute. This print is an original copper engraved image that is than hand painted and a hand written flower name below. If you search the web for value I find some from the same artist from 1836 that range in price for $180-$475. These read more
