Arriving in New York in May he spent the next three years studying and classifying trees in the northeastern United States Quebec and Nova Scotia. In 1807 he met Robert Fulton and became such a good friend that he was one of two passengers on the Clermont 's landmark trip up the Hudson River. After returning to France he wrote a three-volume work called The North American Sylva; or A Description of the Forest Trees of the United States Canada and Nova Scotia. It was published in Paris from 1810 to 1813 and translated into English five years later. Michaux spent most of the rest of his life managing experimental farms owned by the Société Centrale de l'Agriculture near Paris devoting much of his work to the cultivation and propagation of trees and shrubs grown from seeds he had sent back from America."

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 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.
