Background:

These double page prints are from the 12th volume of Flore des Serres (Flowers of the Greenhouse) edited by Louis van Houtte.  This volume was published in 1877 in Belgium.  First issued in 1845, Flore des Serres consisted of 15 volumes, published on a yearly basis;  the 12th volume was part of what was called the Second Series.

Please note that our scanner is not large enough to scan the full dimensions of some prints from this series.  While the image of a print may look truncated, in actuality all prints are fully intact.
