‎The exceedingly rare first edition of Walter's famous ""Blomster-Museum"" or ""Blumen-Museum"". A total of 11 Hefts, each consisting of 6 plates and 1 leaf of accompanying text was published. As with his ""Flora eller colorerede Afbildninger af Pragt-Blomster"" it is of exceptional rarity and almost no complete copies are know. The present copy, albeit incomplete containing the first 8 hefts (except for plate 45 and 54), contain a more substantial part of the work than one can expect to find.
