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

1822015837Princes Street Hanover Square London: T & J Allmann 1822. Illustrated with three simple hand-coloured plates octavo pp xii 378 extremely clean and sound inyternally half calf and marbled boards raised bands and leather label to the spine very slight signs of wear. With the armorial bookplate of Sir Charles William Hamilton 2nd Baronet and his small neat signature on the title page. Phillips lived much of his life on the south coast and gained a national reputation as a landscape gardener. His first plan for the development of a lrge site in Kemp Town Brighton was rejected but the second attempt five years later was accepted. His grandiose Anthaeum project an elaborate indoor botanical garden topped by "the largest dome in the world" ended in disaster when the structure spectacularly collapsed just before its official opening. His ideas on the layout of plants and flowers in relation to their surroundings were influential. When Brighton and Hove City Council restored the gardens and grounds of the Royal Pavilion to show how they would have appeared at the height of the Regency era they did so according to Phillips' ideas - specifically his belief that "a well-planted shrubbery depends on the selection of trees and shrubs which succeed each other in blossoming throughout the year as well as contrasting shades of green . and under-planted flowers".
