Six hand coloured lithographs from a French dictionary showing a waxwing, a cactus plant, a jujube tree, daffodils, a starling and the orchid bee amongst other thing.

From Le Dictionnaire Pittoresque d’Histoire Naturelle by Felix-Edouard Guerin-Meneville.

Published in Paris 1834-39.

The engravings are by August Dumenil and Pedretti after drawings by Acarie Baron.

Size: 29 x 18 cms or 11 3/8 x 7 inches plus an additional centimeter of paper on one side of the images that I have left in place since it might be useful if they are to be framed.

Condition: Near Fine. There are a few marks across the surface of the prints. The edges are slightly browned with some occassional light foxing. One has a faint dark line running along the length of the left hand side. There are small holes on the edges of the plates edge where thread once passed through.
