Columnea pilosa Van Houtte, ca 1840s |
These prints appear to be from the same
plate, but in different editions of Horto van Houtteana -- note the
inverted curve of the publication name to the left, and the slightly different arrangement
of the text at the bottom. I find the differences in the hand coloring
used to finish the two plates particularly interesting.
