Description:
This nature print was created from an actual specimen, brought from Moore to Bradbury, and then printed through the process made known by Alois Auers. Instead of inked specimens being pressed to paper, this process pressed the plant between a steel and lead plate which left an impression on the softer lead plate. From this point, the ink was then added to show the coloring of the specific plant. This process was invented in 1853, just 2 years before Bradbury adopted it for Moore's book.
