1904447631904. <p>Curtis Charles 1853-1928; Walter Fox 1858-1934. Archive of 21 autograph letters 18 by Curtis 3 by Fox signed to James Kortright Birch 1850-1927 plus a watercolor sketch of orchids and additional materials; list available on request. Penang Botanic Gardens Malaysia 12 December 1892 - 23 November 1904. Various sizes. Pin-holes in most of the letters one letter with a small portion of the margin cut away not affecting legibility a few edges frayed but very good.</p> <p> Remarkable scientific archive consisting primarily of letters from British botanist Charles Curtis the first superintendent of the famous Penang Botanic Gardens in Malaysia and the one primarily responsible for the Gardens' beautiful design. All of the letters in this archive deal with the identification of tropical plant species including orchids ferns flowering trees and shrubs fruits etc. They document Curtis's encyclopedic knowledge of both local and exotic species as well as his collecting activities and his collegial relationship with Kew Gardens in London. The recipient of the letters was James Kortright Birch a colonial governor of Penang and "a very keen gardener with considerable technical knowledge" who "did much to make the Penang Botanical Gardens the beauty spot that they are" obituary from The Singapore Free Press and Mercantile Advertiser 15 June 1927.</p> <p> Curtis gained his knowledge of tropical plants as a plant hunter for the well-known nursery firm of James Veitch & Sons. He traveled to Madagascar Borneo Sumatra Java and Mauritius to find new and rare botanical species some of which are named for him. In 1884 Curtis was appointed assistant superintendent of the Forests and Gardens Department in Penang and shortly afterwards was put in charge of the newly established Penang Botanic Gardens. During his 18 years as head of the Gardens Curtis worked tirelessly to transform the garden site an abandoned granite quarry into a beautiful park stocked with thousands of native and exotic plants intended to serve as a recreation area a botanical repository and a center for the cultivation of various species. In his spare time he put together his own collections of plants from Penang Burma and neighboring coastal areas sending samples to Kew Gardens in London and to Veitch & Sons. Curtis retired from the Penang Botanic Gardens in December 1903; he was succeeded by horticulturalist Walter Fox another expert on tropical plants who is also represented in this archive. </p> <p>. unknown books

1871WRCAM43342Paris 1871. Handcolored lithograph 13 1/2 x 9 inches matted to 19 x 14 inches. A few light spots of foxing in margin but image quite bright and clean; a few small scuffs to uniform. Very good plus. Plate from Jules Renard Draner's series of caricatures entitled TYPES MILITAIRES: GALERIE MILITAIRE DE TOUTES LES NATIONS published from 1862 to 1871. Draner - which was his nom de plume - was a Belgian artist who settled in Paris. Though he undertook a career as a businessman he never lost his zeal for drawing and caricature and in the 1860s he undertook to satirize the world's zest for military pomp with a series of 136 color lithographs depicting various military uniforms from around the world including ten plates showing American uniforms. Though his drawings were executed with an eye toward entertainment and caricature each shows accurate military dress down to appropriate use of feathers and buttons. This image shows a portly artilleryman presumably a German settler in Missouri decked out in a blue uniform with red trims holding a plate in one hand and a fork in the other. He is in New Orleans as indicated by a poster behind him evidently as part of occupying troops during the Civil War. He directs a horrified look at the bits of red food on his plate and fork perhaps intended to be some sort of foreign or New Orleans delicacy. Quite nice and highly displayable. COLAS 891.
