AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A magnificently equipped botanical plate book from Victorian England, whose finely hand-coloured illustrations impressively unite science and art.
First edition. Publisher: London, Groombridge and Sons, 1843. 195 pages with an engraved title leaf and 24 (of 24) coloured copper plates, half-leather binding of the period, marbled endpapers, marbled edges, 20 x 16 cm.
--------------------------------------
The tenth volume of the famous botanical publication series by Benjamin Maund, which for decades counted among the most significant illustrated plant works in Britain. It presents numerous hardy ornamental plants from European and non-European gardens, each accompanied by carefully executed, hand-coloured plates as well as detailed notes on botanical classification, origin, flowering time, cultivation, and use.
The lifelike illustrations combine scientific accuracy with a high artistic standard and, to this day, make the work a coveted source for botanists, garden historians, and collectors of historic botanical books.
With the armorial ex libris of the Bradshaigh (Bradshaw) family of Haigh Hall, Lancashire, England (early 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 exemplar.
