The work was published in Paris between 1776 and 1779 by Debure l'aine et chez l'Auteur.The flowers were often presented with insects, butterflies, or birds. The engravings illustrated plants of China and Europe.Pierre-Joseph Buchoz (1731-1807) was a French physician, lawyer, and naturalist. He was highly interested in Chinese culture and followed after Voltaire introducing 'Chinoiserie' to the European audience. He was the first to produce a botanical work following this tradition. The engravings "have the decorative qualities which we have always associated with Far Eastern art."
