Lowe’s most noted work, Ferns: British and Exotic consists of eight illustrated volumes published in London by Groombridge and Sons in 1856. The bookplates of which were drawn by Alexander Francis Lydon and engraved by Benjamin Fawcett. The second edition was published in 1872 by George Bell & Sons. Lowe also authored Beautiful-Leaved Plants, being a Description of the Most Beautiful-Leaved Plants in Cultivation in this Country published by Groombridge, London in 1864. ConditionEach antique print arrives with an archival acid-free 2-ply board and in a poly sleeve suitable for archival storage. See the photos for the actual condition of the print. Being that this print is over 150 years old, it is in good condition. The colors remain vibrant and stable. The paper is medium weight, strong and not brittle. The reverse side of the print is blank.
