[Yokohama Nursery Co Ltd] - Four lithographs of Hydrangeas.

Offered by: Shapero Gallery

Description
[Yokohama Nursery Co Ltd].
Four Hydrangeas: Hydrangea hortensia Yodogama; Hydrangea hortensia var. Mammoth Blue; Hydrangea hortensia Azureus and Hydrangea hortensia.

Four colour lithograph plates with magnificent hand-colouring of Hydrangeas on Japanese tissue paper. (2 pink and 2 blue).
Framed and glazed: overall size: 14 1/2 by 20 1/2 inches.

Prints from a seed sample catalogue showing magnificent hand-coloured blooms on Japanese tissue paper, many with printed and numbered titles.

The Yokohama Nursery Company was founded in 1890 and though Gauntlett's Japanese Nurseries moved to Chiddingfold in 1907 this catalogue must be of an earlier date as from 1900 the Yokohama Nursery catalogues contained chromolithographed illustrations. Very rare.
