A beautiful print of Hellebore Niger and beetles and a moth, from the very rare Nederlandsch Bloemwerk, or Dutch Floriculture, dated 1794, by J.B. Elwe. There was supposedly only 66 copies of the work produced.

The breeding and distribution of tulips, hyacinths and auriculas was the most lucrative area of horticulture during much of the eighteenth century, and by the closing decades the Dutch were the acknowledged leaders in this field. The present work was produced as a sampler of the wide range of varieties that were available, but it also \"takes a backward glance at the art of the gardener and the flower-painter of a century and a half earlier. Nissen and Plesch assign the plates to Paul Theodor van Brussel (1754-1795).
