Alexander Marshal (–1682)

A very pretty book, the pictures are very spectacular!

Alexander Marshal's Florilegeum is a rare and only existing works of flower watecolors from 17th century England. This small (8vo) reproduction issue is a much reduced size and does not show the entire print. It serves as a wonderful reference book for botanical collectors and dealers. Marshall is not a well known name in the print world but this work is extraordinary and far ahead of its time.
