Four hand-colored stipple engravings after Pierre-Joseph Redoute (French, 1759-1840), early 19th century impressions. Each of the four botanical illustrations were created for Duhamel du Monceau's Traite des Arbres et Arbustes (published first quarter 19th c.). Each sight measures 12" x 9 1/4", and each is framed in ash wood, measuring 17 5/8" x 13 5/8".

Redoute has been described as "the Raphael of flowers" for his deft handling of botanical subjects, and his patrons included French royalty from Marie Antoinette to Empress Josephine de Beauharnais.
Not removed from the frames. Some toning and mild foxing to each sheet, but overall good condition, with the soft patina not distracting from the illustrations' delicate quality.
