An original (not a copy or reproduction) print taken from a circa 1883 copy of ‘Familiar Wild Flowers’. The print was originally produced in a weekly 12 page booklet format.

The print was produced by a method called 'chromolithography’. This was the most successful method of colour printing developed in the 19th century and mostly relied on using several woodblocks with the colours. It did away with the costly and time consuming hand-colouring methods available up to this time. Follow the link www.bit.ly/swiftcollectables
