Beautiful flower plates published for the work "Svensk Botanik", which was issued 1802 - 1843 in eleven volumes. Here we have three out of twelve parts to volume nine, contained in a single wrapper, as issued. Svensk Botanik is the most famous work on botany ever published in Sweden and of the highest quality. The colouring has a wonderful "light" nordic quality to it. The creator Johan Wilhelm Palmstruch died in 1811 and the work was continued by others. The present ninth volume was published by "Kongl. Vetenskapsakademien".
