With the continuous expansion of the colonial activities of European powers, a large number of rare plants from all over the world poured into the greenhouses of royal nobles and city dignitaries, which changed the previous centuries. The content and style of the European Flora Illustrated Book, coupled with the new lithograph technique and other engraving techniques, the large and exquisite illustrated book has become a new art collection. "A Selection of Hexandrian Plants, Belonging to the Natural Orders Stone and Liliacae" (A Selection of Hexandrian Plants, Belonging to the Natural Orders Amaryllidae and Liliacae) is one of the leaders, witnessing the rise of a new generation. The author of this set of illustrations, Priscilla Susan Bury (Priscilla Susan Bury, 1799~1872), was an amateur botanist. He was born in Liverpool, England, with a wealthy family. He married the famous British railway engineer Edward ‧ Bury (Edward Bury, 1794~1858). She was partial to Stone and Liliaceae hexapasis, visited the local botanical gardens, painted various related plants in watercolor, and then cooperated with amateur botanist William Roscoe (William Roscoe, 1753~1831), 1831~1834 In 2009, the "Six Pistil Plant Illustrated Book" was published. At that time, only 79 people made an appointment to order. Perhaps because of market considerations, the production was not continued. The book only included 50 plant catalogs. Susan Bury commissioned Robert of London ‧Robert Havell (1793~1878) made the plate, he was the main plate maker of the famous "Birds of America" (Birds of America) by the American ornithologist and naturalist John James Audubon (John James Audubon, 1785~1851), The father of the same name took over the commission from Audubon, knowing that he could not complete the feat of publishing this illustrated book by himself, so he asked his talented son to cooperate in the production. Today, this set of the world's largest and most expensive bird illustrated book can be seen. Weir used the powder erosion method to make this set of flower illustrations, which faithfully conveyed Ms. Bury's beautiful watercolor charm, and the delicate and excellent hand-painted colors added beautiful tones to various plants, which was a way of expression that was at the forefront of the times at that time. The number of this set of illustrated books probably did not exceed 80 sets at that time, making it even more rare and precious. This set, known as one of the most outstanding botanical illustrated books in the 19th century in Britain, "The Illustrated Book of Six Stamens Plants", like the exquisite illustrated books in the 19th century, inherits the long-standing Western tradition of book illustrations. The Western tradition of hand-painting and coloring has a long history. Exquisite color illustrations can be seen in manuscripts and books in the Middle Ages. With the evolution of the times, printmaking workshops often have a separate coloring department. Hand-painting workshop. However, due to the difference in the thickness of the coloring, different effects will be produced, which determine the quality of the printed product. In addition, each era has its own unique coloring methods and pigments. Therefore, in order to distinguish the coloring at that time or future generations, there are original hand-painted It can be divided into original color and late color hand-painted by later generations. The powder etching method adopted by Weir not only created a new era of copperplate technique, but also listed as the representative technique of copperplate together with direct engraving and etching. Today's printmaking world also presents a changeable artistic style due to the existence of the powder etching method. The inventor of this technique was Jean Baptiste Le Prince (Jean Baptiste Le Prince, 1734~1781), who tried to create a planar tonal effect in the etched lines. In order to achieve this effect, he sprinkled asphalt fine powder in a special box, and then let the asphalt fine powder float in the box. When the powder fell, he inserted the etched copperplate picture into the box to accept the powder. These powders will be evenly distributed on the plate, and after continuing to be heated by fire, they will become transparent foam powder and adhere to the copper plate. These foams are anti-corrosion, but the gaps between them can continue to accommodate corrosive agents. When printed, the foamy part forms fine white dots, while the corroded part around it carries the ink, forming a blocky tone. In the 18th century, because the great Spanish painter Francisco Jose de Goya (Francisco Jose de Goya, 1746~1828) used the powder etching method to create moving masterpieces of printmaking art, the expressive ability of the powder etching method was developed. At the beginning of "Six Pistil Plants Illustrated Book", the seven-star manjusri is described by the emperor of the eastern country. It has a strong appearance and looks like an emperor. In 1819, botanist Dr. Carey introduced seven-star Manjusri from the Serampore area of West Bengal. The plant usually contains 20 to 30 flowers and buds in a single bud. Before flowering, it hangs down from the pedicel. The thread-like filaments are pink or deep red, and the slender anthers are orange. After flowering, the slender anthers are higher than the white petals, but the style is shorter than the filaments, and the exquisite stigma is dark red. *If you have any details, please send a message to contact the designer *The main products in this design hall are western antiques, old jewelry and home decorations, and old European original prints.
