Description: This beautiful folio stipple engraving is from Jean Louis Prevost's Collection des Fleurs et des Fruits. The work was published in Paris by Vilquin in 1805. It was printed in colors and finished by hand by Ruotte. Contemporary with the work of Redouté, Collection des Fleurs et des Fruits is one of the earliest examples of stipple engraved and colour-printed botanical illustration. Published in 12 cahiers (or parts) of 4 plates each, the work was compiled to assist designers of porcelain and fabric, with the plates often showing flowers grouped together, usually matched according to their flowering season. The engraving measures 18 1/8” x 13 1/4”, behind a hand colored mat, in a vintage 24 5/8” x 19 1/8” frame. The stipple engraving has foxing throughout, but the colors are still quite vibrant for being over 200 years old. The frame and mat go well with the engraving.A
