Flowers—Ten [Forty] lithographic coloured flowers

with botanical descriptions drawn and coloured by a Lady. Edinburgh: David Brown, 1826

FIRST EDITION, small folio (360 x 250mm.), 40 hand-coloured lithographed plates, list of subscribers at end, later green half morocco over marbled boards, occasional slight spotting

“A delightful work very carefully drawn and coloured and an early example of the successful use of lithography” (Dunthorne).

Other than the full complement of forty plates, there is no consensus on collation. Some copies are known with part-titles for all four parts and small lithographed slips giving the contents of each part. No copy in the British Library.
