With the warm winds and sunshine, birds chirp, buds break through earth, waters thaw, insects flutter, and fish swim freely. As things begin to multiply after the cold winter months, prints and multiples of these spring-time wonders offer an interesting look at how artists and naturalists celebrated new life. Here, we highlight a few of the important natural history works on view at our 29 E. 72nd Gallery in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"jean-louis-prevost-pl-14-bouquet-paris-1805","title":"Jean Louis Prevost, Pl. 14 [Bouquet] (Paris, 1805)","description":"\u003cp\u003eJean Louis Prevost (French, 1760-1810)\u003cbr\u003ePl. 14 [Bouquet]\u003cbr\u003eFrom Collection es Fleurs et des Fruits\u003cbr\u003eParis, 1805\u003cbr\u003eStipple engraving\u003cbr\u003e20” x 13” sheet; 31 ½” x 24 ½” framed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003ePrevost’s “Collection des Fleurs et des Fruits” is one of the greatest flower books of the early nineteenth century.
