AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A splendidly illustrated botanical work from the classical era of English plant literature, with finely hand-coloured plates of extraordinary decorative effect.
First edition. Publisher: London, Groombridge and Sons, 1835-36. 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 sixth volume of the famous botanical series by Benjamin Maund, which ranks among the most popular illustrated plant works of Victorian England. The work is dedicated to a wide variety of winter-hardy ornamental plants and combines scientifically based descriptions with lavish, carefully hand-coloured illustrations.
Each plate shows four plant species in harmonious arrangement and is accompanied by notes on botanical classification, origin, flowering time, cultivation and use. The combination of botanical precision and decorative design made The Botanic Garden one of the most successful plant works of the 19th century and to this day a valued collectible for botanists, gardeners and lovers of historical natural illustrations.
With armorial ex-libris 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)
--------------------------------------
Binding somewhat rubbed, paper occasionally slightly foxed, otherwise very clean. Overall a decorative and collectible copy.
