Description from the seller

This atlas includes 29 plates measuring 29 cm by 21 cm, all hand-colored—very beautiful plates of great finesse, produced by the Fugère printing house in Lyon in 1850 and drawn by Beau. The Fugère family worked in engraving, lithography, and the printing of illustrated plates intended for scientific, horticultural, and artistic works.

Today there are references to botanical plates of Lyonnais fruits and vegetables preserved or exhibited at the Museum of Printing and Graphic Communication, which highlights the history of printing and botanical illustration in Lyon.
