1759021234Avignon: Louis Chambeau 1759. Small 12mo measures 153mm x 92mm pp 156 a little browned and age-toned but very sound internally two folding engraved plates a little frayed and creased at the margins and again age-toned full contemporary calf worn at corners the spine dull joints a bit worn but still very sound. A delightful provenance - with the bookplate of C. Harman Payne author of The Florist's Bibliography. This is the only book I have seen from what must have been a notable library. Also with the bookplate of the naturalist Edward Heron-Allen. The plates are great fun showing florists' tools as well as hyacinths a bulb vase and something which looks more like a crocus planter. "Jean Paul Rome d' Ardène retired about 1750 from his duties as 'supérieur' of the college at Marseilles to the Château d' Ardène diocese of Sisteron where he created a botanical garden and gave himself to the study of flowers" - Hunt Catalogue. D'Ardene wrote similar works dealing with Ranunculus Tulips and Carnations It is interesting that Hunt had copies of those three but only mention this work in passing - they did not have a copy. Indeed it seems extremely rare - I can only trace three copies two in WorldCat and the Lindley Library copy. First Edition. Full Leather. Good. Louis Chambeau Hardcover
