BOTANICALS BY REGNAULT
We are pleased to offer a selection of prints from ?La Botanique Mise a La Portee de tout le Monde? by Nicolas Fran?ois Regnault with most of the engravings by his wife, Genevieve de Nangis Regnault, published in Paris, 1774. These originally hand colored prints copper engravings described by Blunt as ?Perhaps the most impressive French Botanical work of the period.?
The work includes both useful & decorative plants, including the newly discovered potato which Genevieve de Nangis Regnault described in an engaging & typically French manner as ?possibly the only good thing that ever came out of America.?
The selection is of the top most decorative prints from the entire work & in size it is close to the Besler at a fraction of the cost.
