Description

Amsterdam, Johannes Allart, 1802. Folio (visible surface 28.2 x 24.1 cm). Mounted in a fine, elegant, early 20th-century gilt-ornamented frame (57.1 x 45.0 cm). = A fine plate from a work by the Dutch physician of German descent and professor at the University of Harderwijk, Johan Carl Krauss (1759-1826). The work - which is quite rare - deals with ornamental trees, and this plate shows the thorny robinia, its flowers, leaves, and seed. This species, originally described by Linnaeus, comes from Siberia, but is widely introduced elsewhere as a hardy, ornamental tree with bright-yellow foliage in autumn. Some marginal foxing, and weak tonung otherwise very good, with a strong impression and vivid, natural colours. Landwehr, 98; Nissen BBI, 1102; Sitwell, Great Flower Books, 63; Stafleu and Cowan, 3927.
