🗿 Monographie des plantes fossiles du grès bigarré de la chaine des Vosges /. Leipzig: G. Engelmann, 1844.. Original source Image description: Historical illustration showing four fossilized leaves of ancient conifer plants labeled as “Albertia” from the Vosges sandstone. The fossils are embedded in irregular stone slabs with distinct detailed leaf venation. Two leaves (A. Braunie) are positioned on the top left and bottom left, exhibiting broad, elongated leaflets. Two others (B. Speciosa) are on the top right and bottom right, showing slightly narrower and more separated leaflets. The lithograph is from an 1844 monograph focused on fossil plants, capturing the structure and texture of these ancient conifer specimens in brown tones against a white background.
