015665London: James Ridgway & Sons Picadilly 1831 - 1837. Three volumes octavo with 230 plates pp lixi; 218 6; xxviii x 208; 205 2 a little age-toning and marking throughout in each volume there is one internal hinge cracking; probably contemporary half calf rubbed and fraying upper joints weak particularly so in the third volume. A duplicate from Worthing Reference Library with their attractive bookplate in each volume; a neat small circular stamp in the corner of each plate on the title pages and the occasional text page a shelf number on the spines. A cornerstone of fossil flora literature. The work served to catalogue many of the fossil plants recognized by the 1830s from Britain ranging in age from Carboniferous to Pleistocene. Together with contributions from Henslow Murray and Williamson Lindley and Hutton described illustrated and in some cases emended almost 300 species with many of their type and figured specimens having survived. By giving the first illustrated account of the microscopic structure of a fossil cuticle together with discussions about the origin of coal prehistoric climates experimental taphonomy and plant evolution "The Fossil Flora" was much more than a catalogue of fossil plants. Lindley must surely rank amongst his palaeobotanical contemporaries for having pioneered aspects of the science that remain topics of active research into the third millennium. First Edition. Half-Leather. Good. James Ridgway & Sons, Picadilly Hardcover

Carta geografica tratta dall’ Atlante geografico. Corredato di notizie relative alla geografia fisica politica, ed in generale alla statistica delle varie regioni del Globo. Compilato ed eseguito in litografia per cura e sotto la direzione di Benedetto Marzolla edito a Napoli nel 1858. Marzolla, autore di importanti atlanti sulle provincie del Regno di Napoli, è anche autore di diverse carte sulle Circoscrizioni Ecclesiastiche nel Regno delle Due Sicilie, pubblicate postume, nello stesso anno della morte (1858) a Napoli nello Stabilimento Geografico diretto da Luigi Manzella. Benedetto Marzolla fu disegnatore topografo e litografo; geografo e cartografo; membro della Commissione di statistica presso il Ministero dell'Interno. Personaggio di grandissimo rilievo nella cartografia napoletana ed italiana del XIX secolo, Marzolla ottenne in vita pubblici riconoscimenti ed attestati per la produzione cartografica di altissima qualità. La sua notorietà si è lentamente dissolta dopo la morte; va tuttavia osservato che solo la mancanza di uno spiccato coinvolgimento politico in senso risorgimentale e di una valenza letteraria nella sua opera non lo hanno reso famoso come i contemporanei Francesco Costantino Marmocchi (1805-1858) e Attilio Zuccagni-Orlandini (1783-1872), con i quali può certamente confrontarsi. I progetti culturali didattici e editoriali di Marzolla furono e rimangono di straordinaria modernità; egli inventò, è il caso di dire, un nuovo modo di intendere e di disegnare la carta geografica, fornendo una visione assolutamente originale della comunicazione dei dati geografici attraverso la combinazione di testo e immagine. Con tale operazione, egli riuscì a fondere in un'unica opera, storia, geografia, economia, statistica e cartografia, raggiungendo un equilibrio grafico di rara efficacia (cfr. V. Valerio, Benedetto Marzolla Brindisino, Geografo e Cartografo dell'800 Europeo, Brindisi 2008). Bell’esemplare con coloritura coeva dei contorni, in ottimo stato di conservazione. Bibliografia V. Valerio, Benedetto Marzolla Brindisino, Geografo e Cartografo dell’800 Europeo (2008), n. 136. Map taken from the Atlante geografico. Corredato di notizie relative alla geografia fisica politica, ed in generale alla statistica delle varie regioni del Globo. Compilato ed eseguito in litografia per cura e sotto la direzione di Benedetto Marzolla published in Naples in 1858. Marzolla, author of important atlases on the provinces of the Kingdom of Naples, is also the author of several maps on the Ecclesiastical Circumscriptions in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, published posthumously in the same year of his death (1858) in Naples in the Stabilimento Geografico directed by Luigi Manzella. Benedetto Marzolla was draftsman topographer and lithographer, geographer and cartographer. Character of great importance in the Neapolitan and Italian cartography of the nineteenth century, Marzolla obtained during his life public recognition and certificates for the production of high quality cartography. His notoriety slowly faded after his death; it should be noted, however, that only the lack of a strong political involvement in the sense of the Risorgimento and of a literary value in his work did not make him as famous as his contemporaries Francesco Costantino Marmocchi (1805-1858) and Attilio Zuccagni-Orlandini (1783-1872), with whom he can certainly compare himself. Marzolla's cultural, didactic and editorial projects were, and remain, extraordinarily modern; he invented a new way of understanding and drawing maps, providing an absolutely original vision of the communication of geographical data through the combination of text and image. With this operation, he was able to merge in a single work, history, geography, economics, statistics and cartography, achieving a graphic balance of rare effectiveness. Benedetto Marzolla is famous for being among the most important cartographers of the XIX century, for being the one to print geographic maps using high quality lithographies. His Atlante Geografico, made of 58 maps, presents finely sketched works. Six maps depict North America, among them famous map of gold diggers in California, deriving from Hippolite Ferry. Extremely relevant are also the maps of Antarctic, South Africa with the plan of Cape Town and those about Australia. Though the maps are dated between 1843 and 1856, this 1858 edition, printed in Naples at the Stabilimento Geografico Strada San Carlo (founded by Marzolla himself), represents the final version of his atlas, the last one before his death. A posthumous edition will be published in 1865. The atlas is pretty rare, is not actually listed in Phillips, British Library e OCLC. Beautiful specimen with contemporary coloring of the contours, in excellent condition. Bibliografia V. Valerio, Benedetto Marzolla Brindisino, Geografo e Cartografo dell’800 Europeo (2008), n. 136.
