"Flora Pedemontana" was the chief work of Italian physician Carlo Allioni 1728-1804 professor of botany at the University of Turin and director of its natural history cabinet and botanical garden. The illustrations were drawn and engraved by the botanical garden's resident artist Francesco Peyroleri and his son Pietro. Our flora is also an important source of information on Alpine flowers. The modern binding is by an artisan who was proclaimed the "Grande Dame of French bookbinding" by the journal "Art & Métiers du Livre." Annie Boige trained at the Estienne School and at the Vésinet Applied Art Workshop before establishing her atelier in 1985. An art bookbinder she is noted for her monochrome color schemes and her use of beautiful leathers and vegetal materials a felicitous choice here. Michael Briolus unknown

165093TCL8LKTV6YNetherlands 1650. Framed. Drawings 48.8 x 28.9-29.2 cm. Black chalk drawings occasionally heightened with white chalk including some light brown watercolours on grey 17th-century handmade paper without watermark. In manuscript 'Martagon' in brown ink. In lower right corner in manuscript the number '3' in ink. We have not succeeded in identifying the artist of these beautiful drawings. We know no other drawing that is clearly from the same hand. Two artists are mentioned as possible candidates Govert Flinck Cleves 1615-1660 Amsterdam and Gerbrand van den Eeckhout 1621 - Amsterdam - 1674. The present drawings are probably made around the middle of the 17th century in Holland. The composition is similar to some papers in florilegia such as Theodor de Bry 1611/1612 to 1641 and later but they never show so many species and the flowers on a sheet. This study could be a sketch for a painting not necessarily a floral still life possibly a landscape. In fine condition.l Cf. Bernt Die niederländischen Maler und Zeichner des 17.

A remarkable photo album documenting the recognized species of tobacco plants as established by Thomas Harper Goodspeed who established in his groundbreaking 1954 Genus Nicotiana 13 infrageneric sections grouping 61 then-recognized species of nicotiana by common and cytogenetic characters. Tobacco plants are widely used in plant virology due mainly to the large number of diverse plant viruses that can successfully infect them as well as serving indispensable in studies of genetic variation protein localization and purification. Goodspeed 1887-1966 originally worked as Curator of the University of California Botanical Garden and was the key figure in overseeing the Garden’s relocation to Strawberry Canyon before serving as its’ director from 1934 to 1957. He spent decades tracing the origins via hybridization of the many varieties of cultivated tobacco plants and close relatives including species of the genus drawn from the Americas Antarctica and Australasia.

18333409328Rio de Janeiro: Miranda & Carneiro 1833. Occasional light spotting. A fine copy. Three parts in one volume small octavo; in contemporary green quarter calf gilt. <p><p>The first edition in Portuguese of this unrecorded reference to Botany Bay.</p> <p>First published in 1789 in Paris Barère de Vieuzac's La Liberté des Mers was an invective against the British government whose maritime supremacy he described in such terms as "despotism" and "tyranny".</p> <p>This volume is a translation from a Spanish edition of Barère published circa 1820. In the Introduction Barère charges the British with a multitude of crimes including responsibility for the evils of the French Revolution; conspiring with American Indians to attack non-British settlers; aiding and abetting pirates; and exiling Irish and Scottish political prisoners to Botany Bay. This reference consists of seven lines of text which appear on p. xv:</p> <p>'"Quem concebeo e executou o terrivel plano de desterrar para o arido Solo de Botany-Bay aos Irlandezes e Escocezes e de assassinar em Hollanda Italia França e America todos os Virtuaosos patriotas que sustentavão com energia a liberdade e gloria de seu paiz". O Gevenrno Britanico'.</p> <p>Barère 1755-1841 was born in Gascony and practiced law until elected to the States-General in 1789. Elected president of the Convention in December 1792 he presided over the trial and execution of Louis XVI. This is the first edition to have appeared in Portuguese. None of the editions in Spanish or French have been traced in Ferguson.</p> </p> . Miranda & Carneiro unknown
17904504805Paris 1790. Small hole to A4 affecting one word otherwise fine. Octavo 19 1 pp; disbound from a volume. <p><p>A very rare early "satire on French politics and English colonization" Ferguson. Likening those who fled the tumult of the French Revolution to the English convicts transported to Australia the author petitions them to join the future king of France in the newly established penal colony at Botany Bay: "le vaste continent des Terres Australes leur offre un pays nouveau asyle fait pour eux" "The vast continent of the Southern Lands offers them a new country a refuge made for them". The "count" continues that "c'est la Nation que vous etes dignes d'etentre c'est la Nation que je suis fait pour commander" "this is the nation that you deserve and that I am meant to command" and explains that in the Antipodes the laws are very different and virtue and vice are often upended.</p> <p>The satire evidently found an audience in Revolutionary France: a second edition was published in 1799. It appeared in the very first years of the English colonisation of Australia at a time when France had its own interests in the region and its own problems at home. La Pérouse commanding the Astrolabe and the Boussole arrived at Botany Bay on 24 January 1788 just as Arthur Phillip was moving the English settlement to Port Jackson. They spent six weeks in Australia before moving on.</p> <p>Toby R. Benis uses the pamplet to begin the introduction to his Romantic Diasporas: French Émigrés British Convicts and Jews 2009: "In 1799 a satirical pamphlet aimed at French émigrés and those inside the republic who sympathized with them appeared in England. Claiming to be produced in London the text was framed as an appeal from the Comte d'Artois Louis XVI's youngest brother calling on the 'cowards who fled France and to all those who have been banned from France-princes and valets traitors and bandits princesses and prostitutes' to join him in the British penal colony of Botany Bay: 'a new country made especially for them'. Styling d'Artois the "king of Botany Bay" the writer characterizes Australia as a de Sadian refuge for the worst elements of both Britain and the ancien regime bequeathed by the British government to the emigrant Prince and his circle to rule. A historical curiosity this document nonetheless points to a political and social dimension to exile in the Romantic period.". Romantic Diasporas focuses on how French emigrés Australian convicts and Britain's Jews embodied this state for Georgian society.</p> </p> . unknown
