Six stunning water lily chromolithographs from John Fisk Allen's Victoria Regia, or the Great Water Lily of America (1854). Allen, a well-respected botanist of his time, documents his attempts to breed the Amazon’s Victoria regia (Victoria amazonica) in Massachusetts.
These beautiful lithographs by William Sharp (1803 - 1875) are credited with being the first chromolithographs created on American soil and are considered among the finest chromolithographs ever produced in America.
