Description
A dense botanical encyclopedia page showcases dozens of vegetables and legumes arranged in neat rows, rendered in detailed hand-colored lithography with naturalistic greens, warm yellows, and rich reds dominating the composition. The French title "Légumes et Plantes Potagères" anchors the top of this mid-nineteenth-century educational chart, its encyclopedic arrangement reflecting both scientific precision and the practical abundance of a kitchen garden. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
