First published in five volumes between 1855-1866, “The flowering plants, grasses, sedges, and ferns of Great Britain” was widely regarded as the best popular botanical work of its time. Its author and illustrator, Anne Pratt (1806-1893), suffered from ill health as a child and was unable to engage in outdoor pursuits. A family friend, Dr. Dods, taught her botany and one of her sisters collected plants for her, which she sketched. The drawings afterwards formed illustrations for her books.
Two original chromolithographs from Pratt’s “The flowering plants, grasses, sedges, and ferns of Great Britain” are included here.
The first contains three types of pearl wort and other plants. The second shows three species of wild oat grass.
These are included with matching mats but are unframed.
Views are 8 1/2 x 5 1/4 and the mats are approx. 14 x 10 1/4 but can be cut down further. The pages are approx. 8 1/2 x 5 1/2.
