Description: "William Briggs prepared a numbered fourth edition of 'Canadian Wild Flowers' in Toronto, 1895. Agnes painted more plates, printed from the 1869 stones, which she had stored in Ottawa. Following typical Briggs practices, she paid for the letterpress and accepted a commission on books the firm sold. The title-plate assigns copyright to 'Agnes Chamberlin, Lakefield, Ontario'... About 121 copies were sold, most signed 1895 on a maroon limitation page." -- Alexander Globe, "The Story of 'Canadian Wildflowers'" (2015).
Notes: "Though printed in new type by ... Toronto publisher, William Briggs, it retains the original title-page as published by John Lovell, Montreal, with the imprint of the present publisher"--Pref., 4th ed.
