In the 1840s, Europe was enraptured by the beauty of America’s tropical flora. With the production of the lavishly-illustrated Flore d’Amérique (1843-46), Etienne Denisse brought the exotic flowers, fruits, trees, vines, and nuts growing in the Caribbean Islands to captivated readers across the Atlantic.
Flore d’Amérique’s 200 stunning hand-coloured lithographic plates were based on drawings 'from nature' by Denisse. The work was issued in fascicles of six plates between 1843-1846. Imprints on the individual plates credit both the Parisian firm Gihaut Frères (plates 1-49,64-72) and Denisse (plates 50-63, 73-200) as publishers.

Étienne Denisse (1785-1861) was a French botanical artist, lithographer, botanist and horticulturist.
Denisse worked at the horticultural gardens of the National Museum of Natural History, France. He lived for many years in the French West Indies, and was commissioned by the government of Guadeloupe to illustrate and collect the plants of the French Antilles, and to research their pharmaceutical and culinary properties.
His work, 'Flore d'Amérique', was important for its hand-coloured lithographs.
