The various botanical indications accompanying the illustration add genuine documentary interest to this piece and testify to the care given to old publications dedicated to the study of the plant world. 📐 Dimensions: approximately 15 × 11 cm. 🎨 Antique hand-coloured illustration. 📜 Era: 19th century. 🌿 Double-sided plate: botanical illustration on the front and back. The paper has a lovely antique patina, with slight variations in hue and marks of time that testify to its age.
