Histoire des Arbres Forestiers de l'Amerique Septentrionale consideres principalement sous les rapports de leur usage dans les arts et de leur introduction dans le commerce .

181325430Paris: L'Imprimerie de L. Haussmann 1813. 3 volumes tall octavo. 9 3/4 x 6 1/4 inches. Half-titles 2pp. of errata at end of vol.III. 138 hand-coloured colour stipple engravings. Extra illustrated with a carte-de-visite albumen portrait photograph of the author by J.A. Whipple of Boston tipped in at the front of vol.I. Foxing to the text some minor offsetting to the plates. Expertly bound to style in half dark brown morocco over nineteenth century marbled paper-covered boards spines lettered in gilt Provenance: Theodore Lyman III 1833-1897 signature in each volume Theodore Lyman's copy of the original issue in French of Michaux's great work on North American trees including beautiful colour plates printed in Paris many after RedoutÃ©. This is the most important work relating to American trees published prior to the 20th century and excepting the unillustrated Arbustrum Americanum by Humphrey Marshall Philadelphia 1785 it is the first significant work devoted to North American sylva. 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 FranÃ§ois A. Michaux who together with his father AndrÃ© was a pioneer in the natural history exploration of Eastern North America. 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 RedoutÃ© 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. The work was issued in twenty-four parts during 1810-1813. This set with provenance to American soldier and naturalist Theodore Lyman III. Lyman studied under Louis Agassiz at Harvard and continued his studies researching starfish off the Florida coast. After a European tour at the outbreak of the Civil War he served on General Meade's staff. Following the war he was a state Fish Commissioner a federal commissioner and one of the first scientists to advocate the widespread use of fish ladders known then as "fishways." He was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the National Academy of Sciences a trustee of the Peabody Education Fund and an overseer of Harvard University. This copy extra-illustrated with a rare carte-de-visite albumen portrait photograph of F.A. Michaux by John Adams Whipple 1822-1891 of Boston after the daguerrotype portrait taken for Dr. Asa Gray during his visit to Paris in June 1851. Cf.

Histoire des Chenes de l'Amerique.

18011642361801. MICHAUX André. Histoire des Chênes de l'Amerique ou Descriptions et Figures de toutes les espèces et variétés de Chênes de l'Amérique Septentrionale Considérées sous les rapports de la Botanique de leur culture et de leur usage. 4 7 49 pp. 36 leaves of engraved plates 32 after Pierre Joseph Redouté and 4 by Henri-Joseph Redouté. 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.

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. This copy MacPhail's "b" issue with the preferred complete form of the text the prior issue including only four pages of text with brief descriptions compared to the present 49-pages of full descriptions.

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." Sabin 48695. "Few American color plate books had such lasting popularity as this classic work on American trees" Reese. MacPhail 36; Nissen BBI 1361; Sabin 48695.
