"Exploring the World of Ferns: A Tribute to Bradbury and Henry Riley (1821-1887)" Step into the enchanting world of ferns with these remarkable illustrations by Bradbury and Henry Riley. From the Polystichum aculeatum lobatum, commonly known as the prickly shield fern, to the delicate Hymenophyllum tunbridgense, their attention to detail is truly awe-inspiring. The Lady Fern, Athyrium Filix-foemina multifidum, gracefully dances in their artwork, capturing its elegance and beauty. Meanwhile, Trichomanes radicans showcases a European bristle fern that seems almost ethereal under their skilled hands. Smooth rock spleenwort (Asplenium fontanum) and smooth three-branched polypody (Polypodium Dryopteris) come alive on paper thanks to Bradbury's talent for bringing out every intricate detail. The mountain polypody or Beech fern (Polypodium Phegopteris) stands tall in their illustrations, showcasing nature's resilience. In collaboration with Henry Riley's artistic prowess, they depict Asplenium viride - a vibrant green spleenwort that seems ready to burst off the page. Their work also brings forth Lastrea dilatata Chanteria┼á - an exquisite broad prickly-toothed buckler fern that demands admiration. Athyrium Filix-foemina crispum and depaperatum are beautifully portrayed by these artists; each delicate frond carefully rendered with precision. Finally, Scolopendrium vulgare or common harts-tongue fern takes center stage in one of their masterpieces – a testament to nature's diversity. Join us on this visual journey through time as we celebrate the legacy left behind by Bradbury and Henry Riley (1821-1887).
