Sophora Ludovicea decima sexta. Nobis. La Louis XVI.
An original hand coloured copper plate engraving on laid paper.
Plate number 102.
From the Histoire Universelle du Regne Vegetal by Pierre Joseph Buchoz (1774-1780).
Printed between 1774 and 1780.
Size: 47.5 x 29 cms or 18 3/4 x 11 1/2 inches.
Pierre Joseph Buchoz (1731-1807) was a French physician, lawyer and passionate naturalist. He produced some of the finest illustrated works on natural history of the period.
Condition: Very Good. There is a faint dark mark at the base of the print and a few dark spots on the white surround. The print is otherwise clean. There are two strips of paper fixed to the reverse side that, as far as I can tell, serve no purpose.
