For Mr. Weber
With.altinspinesbundles one must observe,that the lowest spine
is lishter(a) ,whereas the two next to it,pointing sideways downward
(b) are darks;with some figures this is good’ but with most too little
observed,thus specially with the topmost.The spine (c) is also dark,,
all ofithem lishter below.; further the spines, primarly the stronger
ones have edges.I pointed this out to Mr. Weber at the time. the pen-
cil drawing is perhaps not clear enough, but should be compared
axain;specially concerning the shading of the spines.. Further, these
spines are distinguished throush a thickering of the base; ,which must‘
be indicated better for several; only for the middle spine firures
the rich,younge wool covers the base of the spines. ()
The sprines, which I have marked tnusCQ) seem to be too dark.
The pistils of the flower are good,only the outer indetation or fur-
row should be extended to the bottom or rather thus.
The shading of the floral tube is not as I desire it; it honda
be much more rounded with more shadinge on one side,but the spones,as
far as they are in the light must be ligshters also the scales,which
are visible below the uppermost spinebundles, must be demarkated more
distinctly: Compare the earlier flowering picture...
ı befieve, that if what should be darker,would be more enclosed
( also the spines which are marked (bD) and (c), the difference would
become more apparent. and the entire picture would improve.
Many of the sp®nes, which; terminate so needle- or bristle-like
thin must become stronger; see (c); I believe that these fiecures
Hr are misleading specially on account of their slim spines. %
The spine (f) below risht is apparently too pale. The middle-spönes,

desienated (c) show a base like thisıy

I assume it should be like so ;

Compare the drawing.

The filaments are good but the anthers sit like this

The entire blossom can get more life by more active

giving; there is something dull! similar to pencil.

Compare the Paris steel eneravinges.

Frankfurt am Main Nov. 29,1857

Mister Weber,

I’hope you addressed yourself industrially to the plates,
and can send to me soon a proof-print, at least of one.. If,however,
you cannot work any faster than on the two first ones,I won't be
atle to sive you any more; but I would like if you would finish
with the two you are working with,to work on another pair for me.
If you want that, then you would have to stick to it,

%Ä-

The 25 for the next plate as well as the # 2 you shall!
have as soon as I will have to pay you more.

The plate arrived yesterday in quite good condition,though
it was not packed very well as it laid loose in much too large a

CaASe,-
Respectfully Your

Dr. G. Engelmann
