Histoire des chênes de l'Amérique : ou descriptions et figures de toutes les espèces et variétés de chênes de l'Amérique septentrionale, considérées sous les rapports de la botanique, de leur culture et de leur usage
A botanical monograph by André Michaux, printed in Paris in 1801 by Crapelet, describing and figuring the oak species and varieties of North America for botanists and foresters. Its plates show leafed oak branches drawn in fine engraved line and grey tone, often with acorns and separate leaf studies beside the main sprig, giving a designer clear models for organic botanical drawing, leaf lobe structure and layout on a plate.
