AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A magnificently illustrated botanical work from the heyday of English garden culture, with finely hand-coloured plant plates.
First edition. Publisher: London, Groombridge and Sons, 1842. 195 pages with engraved title page and 24 (of 24) coloured copperplates, half-leather binding of the period, marbled endpapers, marbled edges, 20 x 16 cm.
--------------------------------------
The ninth volume of Benjamin Maund's important botanical book series, which ranks among the most beautiful popular plant works of Victorian England. The work presents a variety of winter-hardy ornamental plants and combines high-quality botanical illustrations with well-founded descriptions of systematics, origin, flowering time, cultivation, and use.
The carefully hand-coloured plates show several plant species in decorative arrangements and strikingly reflect the fusion of scientific precision and artistic quality that keeps Maund's work a coveted collectible to this day.
With armorial exlibris of the Bradshaigh (Bradshaw) family of Haigh Hall, Lancashire, England (first half of the 19th century), from the library of Baronet Roger Hesketh Bradshaigh (1786–1866)
--------------------------------------
Bindings a bit rubbed; the fly leaves are missing, otherwise very clean. Overall a decorative and collectible copy.
