Issues:
October-The Mat around the print has some spots/foxing. I see a couple tiny ones on the print but it would be OK if it was re-framed. See Photos.
I am going to include an extra March in a gold wood frame that you can use for the october print. It is in great condition & matches some of the other frames.
All prints are under glass.
Each month features different brightly colored plants and flowers, all in a different style of vase, with numbered annotations as to their type.
All are ready to hang.
All in very good condition, except as noted above. There are some areas of wear to the frames commensurate with age.
My pics are aweful. I have a cheap camera and with the flash I was getting a bad glare off the glass , so I took them, inside the house with no flash. The colors are good and bright. If you win these , you will see what I\'m talking about.
Below is the History Of these prints that date to the 1730\'s.
Robert Furber (1674-1756) was best known for writing the first seed catalogue produced in England.[1]
Furber was a member of the \"English Society of Gardners\", a group formed in 1724 to protect the reputations of plant growers by mutually agreeing to names for newly discovered plants. Furber contributed to the group\'s work, including collaborating on a book documenting the plants discovered and named by the group.[1]
March. In: Twelve Months of Flowers, 1730Furber\'s most notable work was Twelve Months of Flowers, published in 1730. The book was written as a catalog of plants and seeds, and featured twelve detailed engravings of seasonal plants in bloom. Henry Fletcher produced each of the twelve hand-colored engravings from paintings by Pieter Casteels. Each plant was numbered, with a list of the corresponding species names provided. More than 400 different species of plant were featured.[1] The plates were originally sold on a subscription basis for £1 5s in uncolored form, or £2 12s 6d for a colored version.[2] The book was reprinted in 1982.[3]
In 1732, Furber produced a follow-up work entitled Twelve Months of Fruit. Like his previous collection of flowers, Twelve Months of Fruitfeatured twelve full-color plates with 364 different fruit. Each plate focused on one month, and showed the varieties of fruit that would ripen during that month.[4]
Other works by Furber include a 1732 book entitled The Flower Garden Displayed, a general-purpose book written for a wider audience.[1]
