This is "the first English attempt at applying Nature-Printing to Botanical Sciences," according to the editor John Lindley in the Preface. Henry Bradbury (1831-1860) was the eldest son of William Bradbury of Bradbury & Evans. He learned nature-printing (the technique of taking impressions from leaves, plants, and other life-forms and making a printing-plate from this impression) while studying at the Imperieal Printing Office in Vienna. Alois Auer, the director, had patented the process with his associate Andres Worring in October 1852. Bradbury returned to London, where he patented an improved version of the process. The Ferns of Great Britain and Ireland was first issued in 17 monthly parts between June 1855 and September 1856. The text by Thomas Moore (1821-1887), curator of the Chelsea botanic garden and co-editor of Gardener's Chronicle, was edited by eminent botanist and horticulturalist John Lindley (1799-1865). Bradbury committed suicide at age 29. He left behind two unrealised nature-printing projects on fungi and trees.
