Coloured engravings of heaths; vol. 1

Henry Cranke Andrews

The heaths were the orchids of their moment, and Henry Andrews engraved them in loving color. This first volume figures and describes the Erica species, each hand-colored plate paired with botanical detail from a great age of plant illustration. A collector's treasury of a once-fashionable flower. For lovers of botanical art and the history of the ornamental garden.
