1872 Victorian botanical picture in William Rhind: Geographical Distribution of Plants with regard to Altitude and Climate. Early climate theory.
Image taken from 1872 revised version of 'A History of the Vegetable Kingdom' by William Rhind. Pub. Blackie & Son, Paternoster Row EC, London, Glasgow and Edinburgh. Believed to be out of Some digital restoration has been done to image - surface blemishes corrected, ink spatter removed, some small paper tears mended, but most of all some colour saturation removed from the Orange and Yellow channels to compensate for 'Foxing' [the yellow-brown dark ageing of old paper]. Also raised brightness levels to lift the darkened old brown pages, which helps dampen print-through. What you have left is a finely engraved image about plant life. You may still see some faint print-through in the border areas, but this is obscured in the image area proper.
