Seven parts bound in one. 4 xv 2 pp. Illustrated title. 48 hand coloured lithographed plates by Fitch two hand coloured lithographed maps on one sheet mounted albumen photograph by Bourne. Half green morocco and cloth spine lettered in gilt with raised bands marbled endpapers original wrappers bound in at rear<br/> <br/> A magisterial work on one of the most beautiful of all plant families.<br/> <br/> The monograph was instigated by Henry Elwes a gentleman plant-collector traveler and gardener whose interest in botany had been sparked by a visit to the Himalayan region the journey itself was inspired by reading Hooker's Himalayan Journals. In the garden at his home in Colesbourne Gloucestershire he was able to grow many of the members of the Lilium genus and was a recognized expert in the field. However to ensure that the text was as accurate as possible and that the range of lilies was as complete as possible he consulted the greatest botanical experts in the field for help in writing the text. This level of excellence was continued with the illustrations and Elwes was able to carry through his plan to illustrate the monograph with hand-coloured plates by the best available botanical artist with each member of the genus shown full-size. Between March 1877 and May 1880 subscribers received seven parts at a total cost of seven guineas illustrated with 48 plates by W. H. Fitch. Walter Hood Fitch 1817-1892 had his first illustration published in 1834 and throughout most of the remaining part of the nineteenth century produced over 9600 plates for the greatest British botanical publications. Sir Joseph Hooker called him an "incomparable botanical artist" with his "unrivalled skill in seizing the natural character of a plant." The plates to the present work proved to be what Blunt calls the "most important achievement of Fitch's later career" Art of Botanical Illustration 264.<br/> <br/> Nissen BBI 594; Great Flower Books 1990 94; Stafleu & Cowan TL2 1664.

The Rajah of Burdwan reserved one copy as did Cambridge University and the Royal Library of Berlin. The East India Company ordered thirty. The lithographs were executed by the legendary botanical illustrator Walter Hood Fitch who for decades was the sole draftsman and lithographer used by the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. Fitch adapted drawings by the botanist Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker and by Indian artists working under the direction of J.F. Cathcart. Hooker had traveled through central and eastern Himalaya from 1847 to 1849 collecting around 7000 species of plants on the journey. His Rhododendrons of the Sikkim-Himalaya 1849–51 began a rhododendron craze among British gardeners and was also illustrated by the skilled hand of Fitch. Hooker was appointed director of Kew Gardens in 1865 and held the post for twenty years. As a close friend of Charles Darwin he had the distinction of being the first audience for Darwin's theory of natural selection. <br /> <br /> <p>The bookplate in this copy is that of Dr. Paul Jay Bowman 1893 - 1985 a charter member of the American Rhododendron Society. Bowman was drawn to northern California by its rhododendrons and ran the Redwood Coast Hospital in Fort Bragg for over forty years. A lovely book with a nice provenance. Lowell Reeve unknown
