There were 192 illustations and associated text pages assembled in four volumes, created by German born orchidologist Frederick Sander. The work was named after renowned orchidologist Heinrich Gustav Reichenbachia. The four volume set was dedicated to Queen Victoria; Augusta Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein, Emperos of Germany and Queen of Prussia; and Marie Henriette of Austria respectively. The plates were created using woodcut blocks, chromolithography and in a few cases hand colored. Shipping - you will notice that my shipping cost may appear to be high.
