18355469Edinburgh:: WH Lizars 1835. First edition. Fine with original hand-coloring. A fine original hand-colored steel engraving with bright original hand-coloring. 6.75 x 4.25 inches 10.8 x 17.15 cm. This engraving is classified as one of the finest natural history miniatures produced during the mid-nineteenth century. A refined and intelligent work The Naturalist's Library was created for everyone with an interest in the natural world. Sir William Jardine 1800-1847 noted Scottish Ichthyologist and Ornithologist combined the talents of his colleagues; Edward Lear Prideaux John Selby William Swainson to contribute to The Naturalist's Library. The intention of the series was to create a fine yet affordable work describing and illustrating all elements of the natural world save botany. In addition several plates were engraved after noted artists: John James Audubon John Gould and Maria Sibylla Merian. The success of the publication was apparent by the production of forty subsequent volumes. The engraver of the work was William H. Lizars who at the time produced the first ten plates of John James Audubon's magnum opus the Double Elephant Folio Edition of The Birds of America. For The Naturalist's Library Lizars engraved the miniature plates in steel opposed to copper to render meticulously detailed settings for each described species. Traditionally only the major subject either bird animal insect or fish was individually painted with watercolor the background remained uncolored. This work has withstood the test of time and continues to be a fine and affordable option to the lavish engraved work of many natural history masters. WH Lizars, unknown

007906Painting. Illus. by Barbara Everard. Fine. Unframed. This is the original plate No. 37 from "Wild Flowers of the World" - a fine water-colour painting by the renowned botanical artist Barbara Everard b. 1910 died . It is a highly decorative work in very good condition with vibrant but accurate colours being much finer than the rather poor reproduction in "Wild Flowers of the World" suggests. And far larger too measuing 47 x 37cm. It has hand-written pencil notes to the reverse presumably in the hand of Everard regarding the species depicted and various printing notes. there are a couple of inconspicuous corrections/revisions to the painting Barbara Everard worked at Kew and is one of only nineteen "contemporary" botanical artists whose work features in William T. Stearn's "Flower Artists of Kew" 1990 plates 9 10 & 11 also published in America under the title "Botanical Masters: Plant Portraits by Contemporary Artists. New York: Prentice Hall 1990". Everard began drawing and painting flowers in 1947 when in the Far East. She has provided illustrations for many works among them O. Pulin and A. Huxley Flowers of the Mediterranean 1965 but her major work was the superb and highly successful 'Wild Flowers of the World' 1970 with text by Brian D. Morley. This monumental work whilst neither rare nor expensive has become a classic of the botanical literature in large part due to the 192 plates by Everard featuing over 1000 of the world's exotic and colourful plants - and this is a rare opportunity to acquire one of these original plates. Everard was a keen and accomplished gardener with a fine collection of orchids. She set up the "The Barbara Everard Trust for Orchid Conservation" recognising the need to conserve private collections of orchids as they often contained plants no longer growing in their native habitat. The Trust is administered by the Orchid Society of Great Britain as a separate charity. As much of her time was spent illustrating books she rarely sold her paintings privately and on her death left her orchids and the majority of her paintings and studies to the Royal Botanical Gardens Kew. Consequently her original paintings are rare but given their quality should be in every serious collection.
