Prevost - Rose & Tulip
This beautiful etched and lithographed plate is from a collection of botanical illustrations after Jean Louis Prevost. It was printed in Paris between 1800 and 1820. The etchings and lithographs were done after Prevost's original illustrations by the artists Legrand, Alliot, Cally, Soyer, Deplech after Bourgeouis, and Duplat.
Jean Louis Prevost (1760-1810) was a renowned botanical artist. He studied under Jean Jacque Bachelier in Paris. He created one of the most exquisite French botanical works, Collection des Fleurs et des Fruits. He often had his work exhibited in the Paris Salon and was a member of the Academie de Saint Luc.
