Six loose late 19th-century chromolithographic prints of orchid paintings by the Swiss botanical artist, Émilie Vouga, lithographed by Lithographie Coopérative Zürich, and published by Damond & Coulin in Geneva, probably around 1890. The six numbered plates, printed on heavy paper, depict various orchid species, in a delicately shaded and detailed style. The orchids are painted in shades of green, brown, pink, red, yellow, and white, on an olive green background, and printed flush to the edge, with no margins.
