Notes
Set of 12 engravings (including t.p.) of bouquets of flowers; the second state, with Poilly's address and "Vauquer f." on the title plate. Cf. Dunthorne.
Engravings numbered 1-12 within the plate.
"... attribution to Vauquer seems doubtful, as it occurs only on 2nd state and the engraving does not resemble Vauquer's work, but is typical of Jean Baptiste."--cf. Dunthorne.
Attribution of the engravings to Vauquer disputed; other sources accept Vauquer as the engraver of Monnoyer's designs, while Dunthorne rejects the attribution and points to Baptiste Monnoyer himself as the likely engraver of these plates.
Comprises part of an album of engravings of flowers, chiefly by Jean Baptiste Monnoyer, entitled "Collected engravings of flowers" (see PML 49011).
