Background:
These hand-colored Botanical prints are from the folio Flore des
Jardiniers (Flowers of the Gardener) and feature the illustrations of the French
botanical artist Pancrace Bessa (1772-1835). Bessa, who at one time worked under the
botanical artist Pierre Joseph Redoute, created this folio of flowers native to French
gardens. Each plate portrays one flower, and some also provide detail of the parts
of the flower as well. The Latin and French names of the flowers are given on each
plate.
