Description from the seller
A magnificently finished botanical plate book from Victorian England, with finely hand-colored plant illustrations from the golden age of garden art.
First edition. Publisher: London, Groombridge and Sons, 1845. 195 pages with engraved title page and 24 (of 24) colored copperplates, half-leather binding of the period, marbled endpapers, marbled edges, 20 x 16 cm.
--------------------------------------
The eleventh volume of Benjamin Maund’s famous botanical series, which counts among the most beautiful popular works on plants of the 19th century. The work focuses on winter-hardy ornamental plants cultivated in British gardens, combining scientific description with horticultural notes on origin, systematics, flowering time, culture, and use.
What gives particular charm are the carefully hand-colored plates, each depicting four plant species in fine detail, eloquently documenting the high standard of Victorian botanical book illustration.
With heraldic 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, otherwise very clean. Overall a decorative and collectible copy.
