[Plates of skeletonized leaves in Phantom flowers]

1864

"6 plates (nature prints?) of skeletonized leaves. Whether these are actually nature prints is difficult to say. The process is unrecorded in this form in the United States and no printer is identified here. They do bear a strong resemblance to the 1858 nature prints in the Pokorny pamphlet ([Hanson Catalog no.] 1858:8). Under 60X magnification these prints are indistinguishable from the Pokorny nature prints."--Hanson Collection catalog, p. 29
