This is the first description of the Canadian Flora. Cornut was a French botanist and physician who never visited North America but instead received the majority of his plant specimens from the Robins family who supervised the gardens of Henry IV and the garden of the Paris Faculty of Medicine and the Morin family who owned several Parisian commercial nurseries. Over thirty species from eastern North America are here described and illustrated for the first time; the importance of which recognized by Linnaeus over a century later as he consulted this work in order to better understand the plants of that region. Cornut also included five South African bulb plants again illustrated here for the first time. Provenance: Bookplates of Ashton Allis on new front pastedown Edward Sanford Burgess present on recto of original free end paper respectively. Edward Sandford Burgess the eldest child of Chalon and Emma Burgess was born in Little Valley New York on 19 January 1855 d. 1928. Edward took an early interest in botany. By the age of sixteen he had analyzed 280 plants near his home. By the age of nineteen he had penned the Flora of Chautauqua County in which he presented the name and locality of every plant known to him 710 in that county. JB vol. 3 p. 28 This work was eventually published as the following: The Chautauqua flora: a catalogue of the plants of Chautauqua County New York native or naturalized; extending through the cryptogamous plants to the end of the Hepaticae Clinton New York 1877. In 1895 Edward went to New York City to become the head of the Department of Biological Sciences at Hunter College. Eventually he entered Columbia University where he received his Ph.D. in 1899. In addition he received the honorary degree of Doctor of Science from his alma mater Hamilton College in 1904. Edward continued in his post at Hunter College until 1925. During this period he published many works on botany. Among them were the following: "The Work of the Torrey Botanical Club" Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club 27 1900: 552-8; "Plant Illustrations in the Middle Ages" Torreya 2 1902: 60-1; "History of pre-Clusian botany in its relation to aster" Memoirs of the Torrey Botanical Club 10 1902: 1-447; "Aster" in Flora of the Southeastern United States J.K. Small 1903; "Species and variations of Biotian asters with a discussion of variability in Aster" Memoirs of the Torrey Botanical Club 13 1906: 1-419; and "A method of teaching economic botany" Memoirs of the Torrey Botanical Club 17 1918: 52-5. JB vol. 3 pp. 50-4 As might be deduced from his list of publications Edward was remembered most for his important work as a student of the genus Aster. In this group of extremely variable plants he hoped to find the forces of evolution at work. Indeed Edward discovered 84 species of Aster when only two to eleven had previously been known.Univ.

COMTE B after Philippe Jacques LOUTHERBOURGABAA

Fishermen Returning to Brighton

179713514London: Published by P. J. de Loutherbourg and Sold by V. & R. Green No 14 Percy Street Bedford Square 1797. Coloured aquatint. Printed on wove paper watermarked 1794. In excellent condition. Image size: 9 1/2 x 15 3/4 inches. A wonderful early separately published impression of Loutherbourg's celebrated image of fishermen on Brighton Beach. This delicate aquatint is an early separately published state of a print which was later included in Phillip Jacques Loutherbourg's seminal work "Picturesque Scenery of Great Britain." The print which was re-engraved in 1801 by J. C. Stadler was enlarged and re-titled "Brighthelmstone Fishermen Returning." This early example of Loutherbourg's work wonderfully shows his skill as an artist. The composition and arrangement of the image provides a fluidity to the picture that is truly compelling and demonstrates Loutherbourg's abilities as a draftsman. The son of a court painter in Darmstadt the versatile artist Philippe Jacques Loutherbourg was born in Fulda Germany and was a pupil of J. H. Tischbein and Carle Vanloo and Francis Casanova the elder in Paris. His romantic landscapes battle scenes portraits and biblical subjects were highly esteemed and lauded by influential colleagues such as Diderot. He frequently exhibited at the Salon and became a venerated member of the AcadÃ©mie Royale in 1767. In 1771 he moved to England where he was employed as the principal scenery designer at London's Drury Lane Theatre. His creative and minutely detailed sets revolutionized the genre of scene painting and he soon began dabbling in costume design. Loutherbourg once again astounded contemporaries in 1782 with his pioneering invention of the "Eidophusikon" a novel variety of moving panorama that was accompanied by music. His substantial and varied oeuvre also included book illustrations and a series of aquatints of British scenery that was published in 1801 and 1805. Aside from a brief trip to Switzerland in 1782 he remained in London for the duration of his life and became heavily engrossed in mysticism. Published by P. J. de Loutherbourg, and Sold by V. & R. Green, No 14 Percy Street, Bedford Square unknown books
