Bartram's Travels 1791 Huntingtonn-337556-w
Franklinia Alatamaha drawn by William Bartram, engraved by Trenchard, and bound into a copy of Travels 1791. Originally made for the proposed Enoch Story publication of Travels in 1786, the plate was included with 7 others in a special offering of Travels advertised by James and Johnson in January 1792. The other extra plates in this copy (in the Huntington Library) are of the Georgia fever bark 'Bignonia bracteata'; the gopher tortoise Gopherus Polyphemus (two plates showing dorsal and ventral views); bottlebrush buckeye Aesculus pavia; evening primrose Oenothera grandiflora; and 'Magnolia awriculata'. A set of seven of these plates, colored, is in the Benjamin Smith Barton-Violetta Delafield Papers at the American Philosophical Society Library.
