The monumental work on the history of orchid literature was published in Belgium as a monthly continuation in French language between 1885 and 1906, and in English from 1891 to 1989. For orchid aficionados, this periodical was a passionate collector's item. The 5-volume facsimile edition (linen-bound with decorative cover) presents the complete botanical knowledge of this era about these exotic plant and represents a veritable encyclopedia of the orchid: The plant drawings are of extremely high quality in artistic implementation as in reproduction. Each of the panels is accompanied by a botanical description, an outline of the history of discovery and breeding, as well as a bibliography, and there are also practical tips for the breeder. A very special and rare piece for the orchid collector and all friends of book illustration.
