late 5: (20) Litchee [Lychee] / Litchi chinensis (21) Prickly Pear / Opuntia ficus-indica (22) Fig / Ficus carica (23) Pecan Nut / Carya illinoinensis, Carya alba (24) Hickory Nut / (25) Pistacio Nut / Pistacia vera - Sourced from Popular Economic Botany by Thomas Croxen Archer. Pub. Reeve & Co., London. 1858. So no longer in copyright. - Pages of book are foxed (tinted yellow-orange with age) so some desaturation has been applied and levels boosted to lighten. Patina /texture of page and paper fibre still exists should you want this rather than pure white b/ground. Bad paper stains and some printing ink blobs have been removed though there are some very minor paper flecks embedded here and there.
