Illustrationes Florae Novae Hollandiae
Illustrationes Florae novae Hollandiae is an album of drawings of the flora of Australia, created by Austrian artist Ferdinand Lucas Bauer and published in 1813 in Oxford.
Ferdinand Bauer has participated under the direction of Matthew Flinders and with the participation of the botanist Robert Brown in the period 1801-1805 at a research trip to Australia on board the ship " Investigator ". Ferdinand Bauer has teased the images and colored by hand. In 1813, three editions of the album appeared, of which about 50 have been sold, which, however, brought the author not financial success.
Previously Ferdinand Bauer issued a similar album "Flora Graeca ".
