PESCATOREA. Iconography of Orchids [1854]-1860 - Jean Linden

" The title that we have given this work - Pescatorea - was very appropriate indeed in view of the generous support that was given to us, at the time of the foundation of this project, by Mr. Jean-Pierre Pescatore, the owner of the most splendid orchid collection on the European continent. In the mean time, the name has become an hommage to the memory of that eminent and regretted patron of horticulture. "
