This CD disc presents 24 high resolution digital BMP images from the 1898
edition of the French publication Revue Horticole.These images can be
printed directly from the CD or imported to Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator,
PaintShop Pro, Adobe PhotoDelux, PrintMaster and other popular painting and
drawing programs and printed on quality inkjet paper producing stunning results
suitable for framing. Or for designing your own greeting cards, posters,
brochures and calendars.
The print out size is the same size as the originals, if
not enlarged or reduced. I have found that these Images print best on Hammer
mill Ink Jet Matte paper. When printed directly from the CD, they are the actual
size. (The same as the originals) and the result is an awesome print almost
indistinguishable as a reprint, even when using a relatively inexpensive home
ink jet printer.

The Ending of the nineteenth century produced magnificent publications
brought about through the impetus of botanical exploration, which reached
its peak just before the turn of the century. The body of art and science
were tightly interwoven. It was a time when the natural sciences spawned the
most artful expression of the printer's craft ever achieved. Painters of
flowers are perhaps more numerous than painters of birds. Certainly, their
folios of original paintings and drawings are in every herbarium, such as
Kew in England, the queen of the world's herbaria. The last quarter of the
nineteenth century gave rise to the development of the many -stone
chromolithographic process in which as many as 20 different litho stones or
color separations had to be prepared. A botanical publication which rivaled
others of the era was REVUE HORTICOLE published in Paris France
founded in 1829 by the authors of "du Bon Jardinier" The
publishers had witnessed from personal experience that collectors of
botanical art refused to buy folio pictures of unassuming plants but felt
that they would subscribe to an octavo work which pictured the showy plants
that filled their gardens; from this premise was born REVUE HORTICOLE -
Journal D'horticulture.
The Revue Horticole contributing artists: Riocreux
deLongpre, Cursin, Faguet, Stroobant, Godard and others are given high
praises in GREAT FLOWER BOOKS 1700 - 1900 A Bibliographical Record of Two
centuries of Finely-Illustrated Flower Books BySACHEVERELL SITWELL and
WILFRID BLUNT "The works of these artists and others of the nineteenth
century French school of botanical artists, and, these for delicacy and
accuracy can hardly be excelled" p.61. The works of these artists are
given high praise on the following pages of this noted Botanical Reference
book:61,79,83,88,96,111, 159. Strobant and Severens are listed as the
chromolithographers of choice in France during this period on pages:
