    Stunning Antique Fern Lithographs!
    Here are a pair of fern lithograph's from 1859.  These color plates come from Edward Lowes vol. IV of
    Ferns: British and Exotic
    - see pic for title plate info (not part of lot).  The plates are approximately 5" x 10" and depict: 1) Cheilanthes Tenuis (plate XXIIIof vol IV).  , A dwarf, wooly species native to Mexico; and 2) Cheilanthes Cuneata (plate XXVII of Vol IV).  It's an unusual and rare fern native to Mexico, living at elevations above 7,000'.  The dull green fronds are 12"-18" long, more than half of which is naked.  Exquisite detail on these lovely prints.  They are from a first edition volume (IV) of an extensive, 8 volume set compiled by Lowe in the 1850's -60's, an impressive collection of works.  The book itself is not really in good enough condition to sell as a whole, so listing individual plates, though inquiries are welcome.  More listings to follow!
