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.

In the English translation as The North American Sylva this book remained the standard work on the subject for most of the 19th century. It was the product of the efforts of one of the greatest naturalists to work in 19th-century America François A.

The beautifully-executed plates illustrate leaves and nuts or berries of American trees across the entire continent. The English and Latin names are printed in the caption of each plate. 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 Redouté and his associate Bessa. At least two sets are known to have the date of 1813 on the title-page of the first volume most likely denoting a later issue. The first volume of this copy bears the correct date of 1810.

180134008Paris: de l'Imprimerie Crapelet 1801. Folio. 17 1/2 x 11 1/2 inches. Half-title. 36 copper-engraved plates after Pierre-Joseph Redouté 32 or Henri-Joseph Redouté 4 by Plée 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<br/> <br/>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.<br/> <br/>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 Redouté 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. "André 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 François André 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 François André 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 François André 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.

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.

From 1785 to 1796 AndrÈ Michaux explored the eastern United States on behalf of the French government. His work was carried on by his son FranÃois-AndrÈ 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."
