Every species read from the plate itself and transcribed by hand — Latin binomial, French vernacular, and the 1891 edibility mark as the printer set them. Not copied from a catalogue.

Selected and prepared by someone who has met most of these species in the field.

Printing

Print at 100% — never “fit to page”. Full 300 DPI at 8.5 × 11, and prints well up to 16 × 20 at lower resolution for framed wall art.

A note on the edibility marks

A historical document. Nomenclature and edibility assessments have changed considerably since 1891, and several species this atlas marks comestible are now known to be toxic. Not a foraging guide.
