Henri Bradbury
Rare Seaweed "Nature Prints" by Henry Bradbury

1856

About the Item

A beautifully framed set of twelve rare "nature prints" produced in 1856 by Henry Bradbury. Henry Bradbury (1829-1860) is known for the innovative technique of “nature printing”, a process popularized and perfected by him in which the actual flora (here, seaweed) was used to create a type of mold used for printing. This rare and impressive collection of nature prints of British seaweeds is framed with beautiful limed ash, under UV-resistant glass to prevent fading. Year: 1856 Framed size: 79.5 x 69 cm Good condition, consistent with age.
