Artwork source: Public domain (Polypodium vulgare, Plate I, The Ferns of Great Britain and Ireland, 1855, nature-printed by Henry Bradbury) - Missouri Botanical Garden scan, Internet Archive mobot31753000619954 (BHL 415) · View the original. Reproduced in full from an archival scan of the public-domain original — not redrawn, not AI-generated.

Five fronds of common polypody, from long feathery leaves to small curled young ones, each with its root, arranged on a cream page. This plate (Plate I, Polypodium vulgare and its varieties) comes from The Ferns of Great Britain and Ireland, published in London in 1855 by Thomas Moore and John Lindley and nature-printed by Henry Bradbury from real plants. This print reproduces the original plate, now in the public domain, from a scan of the Missouri Botanical Garden copy (Biodiversity Heritage Library / Internet Archive).
