A Large Paper Copy. Cleveland Collections 557; Dunthorne 6; Sitwell "Great Flower Books" p. 67 69; Nissen BBI 18. ◆One plate with minor repair to fore-edge margin another with tiny rust hole not touching image half a dozen plates with insignificant smudges made during the printing process other trivial imperfections but A VERY FINE COPY clean fresh and wide-margined in a flawless binding.<br/> <br/> This is a major work of 18th century botany describing more than 2800 species of plants found in Italy's Piedmont region illustrating 237 previously unknown specimens and--crucially--classifying them all according to the new Linnean system becoming one of the first regional botanicals to use that taxonomy; as a bonus our copy comes in a particularly appropriate and charming binding with prominent botanical design elements. "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

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
