Hello and welcome! Tuscany Book is pleased to offer a very fine hand colored copper engraving from Sweet's flower garden, one of the finest 19th century botanical works that we have handled within the last 35 years from a fragment of : Sweet, Robert The British Flower Garden... London: Simpkin and Marshall, 1823-37.This engraving was exquisitely hand colored at the time of publication.Some images have gum arabic applied to it, which makes the color of the original engraving quite vibrant, but it unfortunately also reflects the light oddly and does not look as good on the photograph as it does on the original. The original descriptive text of this flower accompanies the engraving. Both the artist and the engraver signed their name in the plate. The engraving is also dated in the plate. .jpg"> .
