When the Plant Became a Printing Plate
This is not an illustration in the usual sense, but an impression from an actual seaweed specimen. Henry Bradbury’s method pressed the plant between metal plates; a printing plate was made from the impression. The technique reproduced contours and surface with astonishing fidelity, but could not show everything—which is why the book was supplemented with etched detail studies for botanists.

The story behind the motif
In 1859, the English printer Henry Bradbury published The Nature-printed British Sea-weeds . In this poster we see the illustration British Seaweeds 116.
Bradbury was quick to begin using the method of "nature printing" - a process of using plant or animal material to create a print. The process had previously been developed by the Austrian printer Alois Auer.

Bradbury placed the subject between two smooth and polished plates, one of steel and one of lead, which were then pulled through a pair of rollers. When the plates were then separated, an impression had been made on the lead plate, which was then hand colored and transferred to the final print.

At the lower left edge of the poster we can see the text " Nature printed by Henry Bradbury ".
