[CHRYSANTHEMUMS]. A fine group of 12 original watercolor, gouache and pencil drawings on card and 16 pen-on-paper drawings of chrysanthemums by R. Guillot (9 watercolors, 10 drawings), J.H.

Together 31 pieces, most matted and most with manuscript identification of subject on mat; laid in two cloth-backed portfolios.
A very handsome series of representations of numerous chrysanthemum varieties. In many cases, the name of the variety, its creator and the date are recorded on the mats. A member of the Asteracea (Compositae) family, the chrysanthemum (dendranthema) is related to dahlias, sunflowers, marigolds, zinnias and cosmos. The bloom which appears as a single flower is actually hundreds of flowers called florets. (2)
