Annales de Pomologie (Brussels 1853 - 1860) "pomme Empereur Alexandre" Original lithograph from the collection entitled "Annales de Pomologie" published in Brussels by the Commission Royale de Pomologie from 1853 to 1860. Nice specimen with minimal defects on the right edge very far from the figured field but overall in excellent general condition, enhanced by the brilliant editorial coloring with watercolor and tempera with shellac raises. The "Annales de Pomologie" are generally considered to be among the most important and rare natural history publications of the European nineteenth century. Bibliography: "Catalog of the books manuscripts maps and drawings in the British Museum (Natural History)" London, 1903, vol.1 pag.128. Measurements in mm: 380 x 280
