James Sowerby (1757-1822)

Copper engraved botanical prints published in various editions of English Botany, between 1805 and 1832. All have original hand colour and are printed on thin paper. These are all untitled so I do not know which plants they depict.

All measure about 10 x 19 cms and are in good condition unless stated otherwise.

Named plants, price £9 each, unless noted otherwise. (Usual discounts for multiple items.)
