Book excerpt: "The most crystalline water could scarcely more delicately float these lace-like trophies of the Garden of the Sea than do [the] . pages [of this work]" (preface to vol.IV). "It will be seen that a full and accurate history of each species has been given; and where the species has not been such as to allow of its being Nature-Printed, engraved magnified dissections have been introduced into the text. The work will be continued on the same plan" (Advertisement, in vol.I). The final tally of 222 plates includes 220 that are nature-printed. They are printed in two or more colours, most plates include a single nature-printed specimen with engraved magnified dissections, but there are occasional plates which include more than one specimen and no engraved dissections. The process that Henry Bradbury employed to print the present plates was first developed in 1853 by Alois Auer, Director of the Government Printing Office of Vienna. Bradbury learnt details of the process in Vienna and subsequently brought the knowledge and equipment to England. The plates were produced by passing the object to be reproduced between a steel plate and a lead plate, through two rollers. The high pressure exerted imbeds the object (in the present case examples of sea-weed) into the lead plate. Coloured inks are subsequently applied to this stamped lead plate, and a printed copy can be produced. If more than one colour is needed then several were applied individually, by hand, to appropriate areas of the plate but all the colours would then be printed together from one pull of the press. Very few books were printed using this process, and two of the best were produced by Henry Bradbury: the first was published in 1857 (The Ferns of Great Britain and Ireland) and the present work is the second. Ferns and seaweeds proved to be ideal subjects for nature-printing: the process was particularly successful with the thin two-dimensional fronds of ferns and seaweed -- Abe books website.

Book excerpt: Originally published in the mid-19th century, this stunning four-volume set documents the various species of seaweed found in the British Isles. The volumes are particularly noteworthy for the use of nature-printing - a technique for reproducing natural specimens with great accuracy. This set is a must-have for collectors of botanical prints and those interested in the history of natural science.

Download or read book Seaweeds of Britain and Ireland written by Francis Bunker and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-05 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cool temperate waters of the British and Irish seas contain an astonishing 6% of the world’s algal species, more than 600 different seaweeds, and yet most divers, snorkellers and rockpoolers can put names to only a handful of them. The first edition of Seaweeds of Britain and Ireland has proved invaluable to an enormous number of people, not just volunteer Seasearch divers and snorkellers, and this eagerly awaited second edition will no doubt prove to be equally as popular. The aim of this book is to introduce the reader to the wonderful marine environment around Britain and Ireland, and improve identification of the wealth of seaweeds so often overlooked. Features of the new edition include: ● Over 230 species described in detail with colour photographs, information on size, habitat and distribution maps ● Over 50 new species, many with information on how to identify to species level using microscopic features ● Key distinguishing features and areas of identity confusion highlighted ● Colour and form used to group species and aid identification using dichotomous keys ● Details of life histories and reproductive processes for the main seaweed groups ● Both scientific and English names used for species and groups ● A glossary of common and specialised terms

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nature-Printed British Sea-Weeds, Vol. 2 of 4: A History, Accompanied by Figures and Dissections of the Algae of the British Isles; Rhodospermeae This fine species, both on account of the brilliancy of its colouring and the elegance of its form, is one of the most attractive and generally admired of our native marine ora. In size it is the largest of the genus, often reaching to the length of ten or twelve inches, but average specimens are not more than from four to six inches. Nor is it less common than beautiful, being found in almost every deep, shady rock pool on all our shores, larger and finer in deep, sheltered spots, where it is less liable to be torn by the storm, which its thin delicate fronds are but ill suited to resist, so that it is often no easy matter to find a large specimen free from laceration. In the month of May they may be found about half grown, quite entire, and the colours fresh and beautiful but as the summer advances they become more or less torn, and in autumn and winter are often cast on the beach in large bunches, con sisting of several dozens of fronds, and are then a tempting bait to the young algologist who may see the plant for the first time but no sooner has he commenced to analyse his prize than he finds every leaf split across to the midrib into innumerable narrow laciniae, consisting of one, two, or three veins, margined with a narrow membrane, the only remains of the frond. We have seen the frond occasionally divided at the summit, each portion being furnished with its correspondent division of the midrib, and Professor Harvey mentions a still more curious and extraordinary variety, having the frond divided in a manner between palmate and pinnate into several deep undulated lobes, whose apices are again lobed. These forms, however, are purely accidental, and may be often caused by some accidental injury done to the frond during the earlier stages of its growth.
