1882182650London: B. S. Williams at the Victoria and Paradise Nurseries 1882-97. Orchidelirium First edition of this magnificent work one of the great orchid books of the 19th century. The Orchid Album was published at the height of the "orchidelirium" that had been building in Britain for some decades until it seized the imaginations of late Victorian horticulturists in the same way that the tulip craze inflamed the minds of collectors in Golden Age Holland. The British horticultural writer Anna Pavord notes: "some of the grander Victorian growers such as the Duke of Devonshire at Chatsworth in Derbyshire and the Duke of Northumberland at Syon House in Middlesex employed their own collectors but orchid fanciers like John Day acquired their best treasures at auction. Nurserymen such as James Veitch Conrad Loddiges and Benjamin Samuel Williams of the Victoria and Paradise Nurseries in Upper Holloway regularly sent consignments of orchids to be auctioned by Messrs Stevens of King St Covent Garden. It was in their sale room that after an epic battle with a fellow enthusiast Sir Trevor Lawrence a contemporary of Day's acquired the one single plant of Aerides lawrenciae imported by Frederick Sander from the Philippines". The stunning plates are the work of John Nugent Fitch 1840-1927 the nephew of Walter Hood Fitch. His "work was more flamboyant than that of such predecessors as Ehret Redouté or the Bauer brothers combining botanical accuracy with a flair for page design. In Britain and Europe he had little competition being rivalled only by the Frenchman Alfred Riocreux" ODNB. Bibliographies call for 528 plates but overlook the fact that the only folding plate which appears in Volume I is double-numbered as 9-10. This is a complete set and includes the four-page obituary for Benjamin Samuel Williams in Volume IX. 11 vols 315 x 240 mm. With 527 fine hand-coloured lithograph or chromolithograph plates by John Nugent Fitch one double-numbered folding plate in Vol. I some with tinted backgrounds. Contemporary half dark green morocco spines with raised bands gilt-lettered direct in two compartments gilt floral device in others boards ruled in gilt marbled boards and endpapers marbled endpaper vols. I-IV grey; V-VI dark green VII-IX light blue top edges gilt. Bookplates and shelf marks of Reeves Library Westminster College Missouri gifted by Carl F. Setz. Bindings refurbished small nick to fore edge of vol. V endpapers of vol. VII with minor abrasions with free endpaper detaching but holding and a few minor text repairs starting before title of vol. XI occasional foxing or faint marginal damp staining: a very good copy. Nissen 2107; not in Plesch or Pritzel.
