Republican Congressmen, faced with "clearing away the wreckage . . . of the New Deal," had met their problems with courage and directness.

A new method of stipple engraving had made possible excellent prints in color. At Paris' Jardin des Plantes, men combining botanical knowledge with high artistic ability labored to record the new plants. The most famous of them was Pierre Joseph Redouté, sometimes called the "Raphael of flowers." Bessa was less prolific than his contemporaries, and his prints are rarer.
