This image shows plate lxviii (= 68). Jones’ original description of this plate from his “description of the plates” (page 9–15), transcribed literally, using jones’ orthography:
“from a painted china bottle. The upper portion of the plate is from the neck of the bottle, the lower portion is chiefly remarkable for the clever way in which the white of the large flower is distributed over the remainder of the space. ”
additional hints by commons users:
—
the image shows many little scratches, traces of dust etc.;many of these artifacts are already present in the reprint, and must originate either from the original chromolithographic print, or from the offset reproduction process which was needed to produce the reprint.
