180134008Paris: de l'Imprimerie Crapelet 1801. Folio. 17 1/2 x 11 1/2 inches. Half-title. 36 copper-engraved plates after Pierre-Joseph RedoutÃ© 32 or Henri-Joseph RedoutÃ© 4 by PlÃ©e 33 or Sellier 3. Minor foxing. Twentieth century half green morocco and green cloth boards spine with raised bands in six compartments panelled and lettered in gilt marbled endpapers and edges The first edition Michaux's magisterial monograph on all the known species of North American Oaks illustrated by the best known botanical painter of all time. In this excellent and very beautiful monograph Michaux begins by giving an historical overview of the Oak before giving detailed descriptions of all the American species he had encountered. Starting with the Latin binomial he gives a brief description in botanical Latin Latin synonyms and the name in French and English. This is followed by notes on the trees height when full-grown and descriptions of the timber leaves flowers and its geographical distribution. The remainder of each entry is made up of Michaux's observations which concentrate on whether the tree is worth cultivating and if so for what reason. Thirty-two of the plates in this work are particularly striking early examples of the work of Pierre-Joseph RedoutÃ© the remaining four are after his brother Henri-Joseph. The classically understated line engraved plates allow the unerring sense of design of the master botanical painter to be fully appreciated. All of the main species are illustrated by one plate and a number by two. These second plates include acutely observed studies of young plants or details of leaves. "AndrÃ© Michaux was sent to America in 1785 by the French government which asked him to collect timber trees and plants useful as either food or medicine. Michaux. was accompanied by his young son FranÃ§ois AndrÃ© and a gardener Paul Saulnier. A nursery garden was established in New Jersey not far from New York where Saulnier was to be in charge of a base for collections waiting to be sent back to Europe. During the next ten years thousands of trees were collected by Michaux on his travels to the southern Appalachians Spanish Florida the Bahamas and the Carolina mountains. These were taken to the royal nurseries at Rambouillet. but relatively few of the plants survived. A second Michaux nursery was established at Charleston South Carolina under the care of FranÃ§ois AndrÃ© until 1790 when he went back to France to study medicine. Meanwhile his father traveled from Hudson's Bay to Florida and west to the Mississippi in his search for new plants. The elder Michaux returned to France in 1796" Oak Spring Sylva. Here he tried unsuccessfully to raise money from the government for further exploration of North America and eventually accepted a post on Baudin's expedition to Australia leaving France in October 1800. This was the last time that FranÃ§ois AndrÃ© was to see his father he died in Madagascar in 1802 and the younger Michaux was left to see the present work through the presses. However he was more successful in getting official backing and visited America twice more: firstly from 1801 to 1803 and finally from 1806 to 1809.

Folio 460 x 300 mm bound in original boards with purple linen spine in a new cloth folding box. Paris: l'Imprimerie de Crapelet 1801. First Edition. A splendid work on American oak trees illustrated with engravings by Joseph Redouté and his brother Henri-Joseph. André Michaux is not to be confused with his son Francois André Michaux the author of The North American Sylva which is considered the most important early work on American trees. André originally came to America in 1785 as Royal botanist under Louis XVI where he undertook extensive travels doing research on behalf of the king. After the Revolution he was asked to undertake a Western expedition by Jefferson and it is presumably from this and his previous travels that the information in this book was collected. The Redouté brothers provide and elegance to Michaux's work with engravings displaying both depth and texture to the botanical subject matter. The linen spine is fraying and there is occasional foxing and staining which is pretty much confined to the margins however this is a nevertheless a very good copy of a rare book of which there has been no copy at auction since 2004.

From 1785 to 1796 AndrÃˆ Michaux explored the eastern United States on behalf of the French government. His work was carried on by his son FranÃois-AndrÃˆ in 1801 and 1807 and it was these travels that formed the basis for The North American Sylva. It was first published at Paris between 1810 and 1813 with 145 plates. The first English edition with 156 plates was published by Thomas Dobson at 1817 to 1819 under a false Philadelphia imprint. The plates were purchased by the American naturalist William Maclure who took them to New Harmony Indiana and produced the first American edition in 1841. He in turn left them to Dr. Samuel G. Morton of Philadelphia where they were first printed in 1850. The later Nuttall prints were done by hand-colored lithography. "Of the two works united it is no exaggeration to remark that it is the most complete work of its kind and is a production of unrivalled interest and beauty giving descriptions and illustrations of all the forest trees of North America from the arctic limits of arborescent vegetation to the confines of the tropical circle."

1853WRCAM36567Philadelphia: Robert P. Smith Publisher. 1853. Three volumes. 156 handcolored engravings. Half title in first volume. with: Nuttall Thomas: THE NORTH AMERICAN SYLVA. Philadelphia: Robert P. Smith Publisher. 1853. Three volumes. 121 handcolored lithographs. Uniform contemporary green morocco stamped in gilt with botanical design on front and rear covers spines gilt gilt inner dentelles a.e.g. Front hinge of second volume of Michaux set cracked extremities lightly rubbed. A few fox marks mostly on text leaves with the plates generally clean and brightly colored. Overall a very good set in uniform contemporary bindings. In two cloth cases with separate chemises for each volume leather labels. An early issue of Michaux and Nuttall's classic work of American natural history. Originally published as separate works these titles merged into a regularly produced combined work of six volumes beginning in 1851. The Nuttall appears to have the same collation as the first edition of 1842-49. The Michaux has virtually the same collation as the 1850/51 and 1852 issues which precede it. The beautiful color plates were printed in Paris many after RedoutÃƒÂ©. The Nuttall contains 121 plates as in the first issue of 1842/46/49. The Michaux contains 156 color plates as called for on the titlepage six more plates than in previous issues. This publication is the most important work relating to American trees prior to the 20th century. It is the product of the efforts of two of the greatest naturalists to work in 19th-century America FranÃƒÂ§ois AndrÃƒÂ© Michaux and Thomas Nuttall. The beautifully executed plates illustrate leaves and nuts or berries of American trees across the entire continent. Sabin says of the work "It is no exaggeration to remark that it is the most complete work of its kind and is a production of unrivalled interest and beauty." Michaux's work is based on his extensive travels in the eastern half of America and those of his father from the 1790s on. Both men were friendly with Jefferson and other leading figures who aided them in their work and travels. The plates were executed by the great French flower painter RedoutÃƒÂ© and his associate Bessa. The sheets of the first effort at reprinting the work were destroyed by fire but the copper plates were separately stored and thus survived to be employed in a later combined edition issued by Rice and Hart of Philadelphia Thomas Nuttall was one of the most intrepid American naturalists of his day travelling extensively in the Mississippi Valley and the Far West in the 1820s and '30s to gather botanical specimens. His work designed to supplement that of Michaux covers eastern species overlooked by the Frenchman and new species Nuttall had gathered in the Midwest and West. His work was first published in Philadelphia in 1842-49. The more up-to-date method of using colored lithographs for the plates was employed in the Nuttall volumes since the publisher did not have engraved plates in stock as was the case with the Michaux work. A handsome set in the publisher's original binding of a classic of American natural history. BENNETT p.76 ref. MEISEL III pp.379-81 437. SABIN 48695 56351. OAK SPRING SYLVA 20 ref.
