About This Item
Original hand colored engraving from "The botanist's repository, for new and rare plants..." Matted in off-white/beige with beveled window and black accent matt. From page proceeding the plate: "White Paeony. Class XIII. Order II. Polyandria Digynia. Many Chives. Two Pointals... References to the plate: 1: The Empalement, Chives, and Pointals. 2: A thread and its tip (magnified). 3: The seed-vessels. 4: A seed... This new species of Paeony is a native of Mongol Tartary, and the parts adjacent; of course is sufficiently hardy to endure our severest winters. It has been described by Gmelin, in his Flora Sibirica; and figured by Dr. Pallas, in his Flora Rossica, under the specific title it here bears. J. Bell, Esq. of Isleworth, procured some plants of it from St. Petersburg, about the year 1791; where it had been introduced by Dr. Pallas some time before, when on his travels through Tartary." Matt: 16 x 18 1/2 inches; Paper: 8 3/8 x 10 3/4; Window: 7 3/4 x 10 1/4 inches.
