This publication is the most important work on 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 Francois A. Michaux and Thomas Nuttall. The beautifully executed plates illustrate leaves and nuts or berries of American trees across the entire continent. "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"-Sabin. This is a reissue of the combined edition of the two works issued by the Philadelphia publishers Rice Rutter & Co. successors to Rice and Hart. Michaux's work was 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. His book was first published with a Philadelphia imprint in 1817-19 although actually printed in Paris where the plates were engraved as well. These plates were executed by the great French flower painters Redoute and his associate Bessa. The sheets of the first effort at reprinting were destroyed by fire but the copper plates were separately stored and survived to be employed in this edition where the work of Michaux fills the first three volumes. Thomas Nuttall was one of the most intrepid American naturalists of his day traveling extensively in the Mississippi Valley and the Far West in 1820s and 1830s to gather botanical specimens. His work designed to supplement that of Michaux covers eastern species missed by. unknown

A pristine untrimmed copy of the first book by the author of the "North American Sylva" in period mustard colored laid papered boards. <br /> <br /> Francois Michaux made an 1800-mile journey made through the Eastern United States following in the footsteps of his father Andre who was on the Baudin voyage to Australia in 1800. "Michaux began to seek an opportunity to continue his father's work in North America. he sailed for America and arrived at Charleston South Carolina on 9 October 1801. He had been instructed to close down the nursery founded by his father at Charleston for economic reasons and he sent back to France those seedlings he thought worthy of cultivation. In the spring of 1802 Michaux toured the forests of New Jersey with David Hosack and also visited Hosack's newly established Elgin Botanic Garden in New York. From there he made an extended visit to Philadelphia where he met William Bartram and saw William Hamilton's fine collection of trees at Woodlands. He then made a journey through Pennsylvania Kentucky and Tennessee before returning to Carolina and he met on the way many of his father's old acquaintances. He returned to France at the end of 1803 to organize the shipments of plants and seeds that he had sent back and to make a series of reports on his work. Clearly by then he had formed the idea of producing a major work on the trees of North America" Ian MacPhail for ADNB.
