The chromolithographic plates by Werner and Winter of Frankfurt are the heart of it: full-page spreads of gentians, edelweiss, alpine roses, and mountain shrubs rendered in colours that have held remarkably well over 120 years. Text runs in English, French, and German throughout, and the authors include Prof. Dr. C. Schröter of ETH Zürich, one of Switzerland's most respected alpine botanists of his generation. A working naturalist's companion that has aged into something considerably more decorative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap\"\u003e[d]Author | L.
