Stunning Antique Fern Lithographs!Here are a pair of fern lithograph's from 1859. These color plates come from Edward Lowes vol. IV of
Ferns: British and Exotic
- see pic for title plate info (not part of lot). The plates are approximately 5" x 10" and depict: 1) Lomaria Procera (plate LV of vol IV). An interesting species native to New Holland, Tasmania and New Zealand; and 2) Lomaria Discolor (plate LVI of Vol IV). A magnificent stove fern species native to Brazil. Exquisite detail on these lovely prints. They are from a first edition volume (IV) of an extensive, 8 volume set compiled by Lowe in the 1850's -60's, an impressive collection of works. The book itself is not really in good enough condition to sell as a whole, so listing individual plates, though inquiries are welcome. More listings to follow!
