The specimen edition
Every natural-history plate in the catalogue is offered as a specimen: the whole plate, including its original margins and engraved caption, placed on a cream ground with a typeset label giving the common name, the Latin binomial and the source. It is the edition for anyone who wants the plate to read as the historical object it is, not as a cropped image.
How to use them
Specimen prints are made to be grouped. Six or nine at 12×18 in matching frames make a classic study wall; the same size and the same frame throughout is what makes it work. Mixed sources, say a bird, a mushroom and a shell, sit well together because the label format is the same on all of them.
