Plates are clean for the most part though some have offset on versos from text leaves or slight toning from tissue guards. Text is clean. "This is the first botanical work published in America. Bigelow originally planned to use hand-colored copper plate engravings which are employed in the first half of the first volume. This method proving too expensive and laborious he sought a method of printing color rather than applying it by hand. Richard Wolfe who has made an exhaustive study of the work believes that the rest of the plates the book was issued in six parts over a three-year period were made by etching a stone block then applying the colors to the stone 'a la poupee'. The stone inked with multiple colors was then printed in a single impression. This is the only use of such a process an American color plate book." - Reese 19th Century American Color Plates Books #10.

Laid in is an original bill of sale from Parke-Bernet Galleries dated April 21-22nd 1947. In fine condition. An exceptional example with noted provenance as these have been in a private collection since the 1940s. As early as 1805 Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm began collecting German popular tales. They published the first and second volumes of Kinder-und Hausmarchen in 1812 and 1814. Its publication brought immediate and worldwide fame to the brothers Grimm and provided the foundation for their influential and groundbreaking studies in German philology and grammar PMM 281. The 1823 edition in English of German Popular Stories was the "first anywhere to be fully illustrated" as well as the first to truly target children Darton 216. Moreover the English translation by Edgar Taylor and his relatives "revolutionized the conventional English attitude to fairy tales and rehabilitated fantasy as generally acceptable reading-matter for the young. The Cruikshank illustrations which the Grimms themselves admired remain inextricably associated with the tales" and are considered among his best works Carpenter & Prichard 230. They have been called "the first real kindly agreeable and infinitely amusing and charming illustrations for a child's book in England" Charles Welsh. Among other famous Grimm tales these volumes contain "Rumpel-Stilts-Kin" "Snow-Drop" Snow White "Rose-Bud" Sleeping Beauty "Tom Thumb" "Hansel and Gretel" "The Golden Goose" "The Frog-Prince" and "Ashputtel" Cinderella.
