Journal Special Ses Serre St Des Jardins was
published in Ghent, Belgium starting in 1854. It was a
collaborative effort of the great plant specialists,
hybridizers and hunters of the day including Charles
Lemaire, a prominent botanist & professor, Ambroise
Verschaffelt of the Nursery Verschaffelt family & Jean
Linden, the renowned orchid hunter and editor of Les
Orchidees.
It was an exciting time in Europe, when the race to
discover new plants and bring new cultivars to a never
satiated public was in full swing. These prominent
botanists collaborated on many of the seminal works of
the day including Verschaffelt’s Nouvelle Iconographie
des Camellias. The lavishly illustrated plates, hand
colored or finished lithographs contain a wonderful
selection of plants following the interests of the
famous contributors of the era - orchids, camellias,
roses, palms, rhododendrons, & azaleas & exotic plants
among many others. References: Nissen BBI 2254. (21),
Great Flower Books 1990 p.159. The color plates are very
bright & the condition generally excellent.
We are currently offering a selection of prints from
volumes published from 1860-1896. Each print is
untrimmed and has never been bound, so is of larger size
than usual, the single plates measuring approximately 10
1/4 by 7 inches, and the doubles 10 1/2 by 14 inches.
The relevant descriptive text is provided whenever
possible. Sometimes it may be a copy due to the way the
descriptions were sometimes back-to-back. The condition
of these prints is excellent, with the paper generally
quite white & the colors very vivid. On some there may
be slight marginal foxing. Please inspect the image
carefully, as it is very accurate. All our prints are
original antique prints, and these prints are at least a
100 years old.
