Text leaves with faint mottled foxing and minor browning and off-setting just a few plates with negligible faint spots or smudges otherwise A WONDERFUL COPY THE ORIGINAL SPARKLING BINDING IN AN AMAZING STATE OF PRESERVATION.<br/> <br/> This is a sumptuously bound copy of three manuals intended to teach the art of drawing to young persons written by the accomplished botanical painter who produced the renowned "Pomona Britannia." In an earlier career Brookshaw ca. 1751-1823 was a successful London cabinet-maker whose painted Neoclassical furniture attracted such titled enthusiasts as the Duke of Devonshire and the Prince of Wales but he suddenly abandoned this livelihood in the 1790s. Art historian Lucy Wood speculates that the sudden change was prompted by involvement in a financial or sexual scandal as he also parted company with his wealthy wife around this time. He spent a decade living under the name "G. Brown" teaching flower painting to refined young ladies before producing his first manual "A New Treatise of Flower Painting" which was finally issued under his real name in 1816. The three guides that make up the present volume were intended as a supplement to that work and they expand the subjects covered to fruit and birds. In the preface to this work Brookshaw observes that flower painting is a "peculiarly appropriate" accomplishment that may be obtained "without the expense of a Master a few elementary instructions and good copies being sufficient." The plates here are more highly finished than the examples in his original "Treatise" in order to "lead the young artist onward in a progressive line of improvement." Fruits and birds are added to offer a new challenge for the pupil and Brookshaw notes that while avian subjects lack the variety of botanical ones they compensate with "the inifinite number of attitudes they assume." Our elaborate and immaculately preserved binding is testament that our volume was never used as a drawing manual but was more likely enjoyed for its own merits as an attractive object.

188120560Sacramento: State Office 1881. 72 pp illustrated with small wood engravings in original lavender printed wrappers. Some chipping to spine old tears and tape repairs to back wrapper else very good. Matthew Cooke was in the business of manufacturing fruit boxes in the 1870s when California's apple crop was devastated by Codlin moths. He began studying entomology to find defense against the moths and ensure the security of his business and quickly became an expert on a range of pests affecting California's fruit crops. He was appointed Chief Executive Horticultural Officer of California in 1881. This report prepared at the request of the State Board of Horticultural Commissioners describes the life cycles of the major insects damaging fruit crops moths scale insects mites caterpillars borers aphids etc. and recommends remedies for dealing with each. It also includes the text of new legislation intended to protect and promote the horticultural interests of the State of California. State Office unknown

18950218519 Eastcheap London: Sir Joseph Causton & Sons 1895. Very well illustrated very large horizontal octavo pp iv 260 a little age-toned internally a few corners creased otherwise very clean internally re-bound fairly recent in plain brown cloth slightly marked. RARE Despite the opening words of the title the whole book is devoted to an account of the business endeavours of Whiteley. Inspired by an early visit to Crystal Palace he was determined to create a shop where absolutely everything could be purchased and thus eventually was born London's first department store - "Whiteley's" of Bayswater. The book is a detailed account of the model farms created at Hanworth to provide jams potted meats pickles etc for the shop. It is an unsurpassed social and commercial record. Whiteley was shot dead in his shop in 1907. Part of the fortune left in his will was used to create Whiteley retirement village. RARE . First Edition. Cloth. Good. Sir Joseph Causton & Sons Hardcover
1817742London:: Longmans Hurst Rees Orme & Brown 1817. First edition. Fine with original hand-coloring. Fine original hand-colored stipple engraving.Pl. XXIII Smith's Early Newington Buckinghamshire Minion & Barrington Peaches. Large Quarto Edition 11 x 13.5 inches. Pomona Britannica is considered one of the most distinguished pomologies ever produced and is described as "one of the finest colour-plate books in existence." Prideaux. Named for Pomona the Roman Goddess of Fruit and Fruit Trees a pomology is simply a treatise on fruit culture. However there was nothing simple about the intent and execution of this fine work. In an effort to educate the landed country gentleman on the cultivation of fruit George Brookshaw 1751-1823 rendered and described the finest fruit under cultivation in the most esteemed gardens in London and the Royal Gardens particularly around Hampton Court and Kensington. Very little is known about the early years of Brookshaw's life and education. He was born in Birmingham and died an undistinguished death in London. However during the late 18th Century Brookshaw enjoyed significant notoriety as a talented cabinetmaker distinguished by royal patronage. Receipts from the Prince of Wales dating 1783 document the finely painted furniture commissioned from G. Brookshaw. Elegant cabinets tables and chimney pieces were painted with exquisite allegorical scenes bouquets of flowers and abundant cornucopias offering a glimpse into what was to become the hallmark of Brookshaw's talent; elegant and fluid renditions of fruit and flowers. George's talent as an engraver was perhaps influenced by Richard Brookshaw brother an established and talented mezzotint engraver in Paris during the 19th Century. Richard Brookshaw engraved several of the plates for the Folio edition of Pomona Britannica c.1812 however as the last of Richard's engravings are dated 1804 we conclude every one of the plates in this large Quarto edition were engraved by George Brookshaw himself. This edition should not be considered a miniature version of the Folio edition where the fruit is set on dark mezzotint grounds. This large Quarto edition features beautifully hand-colored stipple engravings which float on soft ivory backgrounds. Ref. Dunthorne 55 Christie's 4-97. Longmans, Hurst, Rees, Orme, & Brown, unknown
