BUCHOZ. A Group of Four Tulips
Located in London, GB
A Group of 4 hand-coloured engraved plates of tulips, in matching silver leaf frames. Dimensions: 34.6cm by 48.5cm.

[Paris 1781]

His works are characterised by the beauty of the illustrations, and their rarity owing to the small size of the print runs.
The final tulip plate...
