La flore alpine
La flore alpine is a 1908 Geneva botanical plate book by Henry Correvon, a Swiss horticulturist, with trilingual French, German and English plant names for alpine flora. Its pages pair tall, narrow framed colour plates of single alpine plants, with stems, leaves and flower heads drawn in flat, muted washes against pale grounds, giving a designer a model for simplified botanical decoration and clean, labelled plant studies.
