Engravings of New Zealand plants

Topic

Overview

From about 340 plant species collected by Banks and Solander in New Zealand, some 180 species are represented by black and white engravings.

A set of six engravings per species was sent to New Zealand in the late nineteenth century. Te Papa holds three engravings for most of the New Zealand species, with a total of 531 proofs.
