96802Nuremberg & Eichstatt 1640. . Four copper engraved plates with hand-colour; framed and glazed; plate size: 500 x 440 mm.; overall size: 512 x 603 mm.<br /> Magnificent plates from Hortus Eystettensis one of the earliest and most famous works in the field which provides a pictorial record of the flowers grown in the greatest German garden of its time that of Prince Bishop of Eichstatt Johann Conrad von Gemmingen. The garden was begun by Joachim Camerarius in 1596 and after his death in 1598 completed by Basil Besler a pharmacist from Nuremberg. A visitor Philipp Hainhofer in 1611 marvelled at the eight gardens each containing 'flowers from a different country; they varied in the beds and flowers especially in the beautiful roses lilies tulips'. The Hortus records this variety and beauty. The book is exceptional in every sense; in its variety and range of flowers in its size in its fine quality of engraving. It is also one of the earliest records of flowers from a specific documented garden.<br /><br />Besler was asked to complete the work by Gemmingen in 1606; the huge nature of the task was clear to Besler and he enlisted the help of his younger brother Hieronymus and Ludwig Jungermann a nephew of Camerarius. Printing the Hortus may have begun as early as 1607. Drawings were made in situ and from specimens sent by the Bishop to Nuremberg; the Bishop reported to Hainhofer that he had boxes of fresh flowers sent every week to Besler at Nuremberg for sketching. A team of at least 10 engravers were employed to translate the drawings to copperplates.<br /><br />The gardens along with most of the town of Eichstatt were destroyed by the invading Swedish troops under Herzog Bernhard von Weimar in 1633-4 although they were partially restored by later bishops. Many of the original drawings survive in the University Library Erlangen.<br /> Nissen 158; Pritzel 745; Hunt 430; Blunt pp 95-97; Stafleu & Cowan 497. Nuremberg & Eichstatt, 1640. unknown

He became a Fellow of the Geological Society in 1864. He was a member of the RHS Scientific Committee during the 1880s and served brief terms on the Floral Committee Daffodil Committee and Library Committee. Maw made frequent plant collecting trips including to the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe. In 1871 he accompanied Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker and John Ball on a plant collecting expedition to Morocco and the Atlas Mountains and letters from Hooker to Maw give details of their preparations. A full account of the trip was published in 'Journal of a Tour in Marocco and the Atlas Mountains'. Maw wrote occasional articles for the garden press and was an accomplished artist: John Ruskin wrote of his crocus drawings that they were 'most exquisite . and quite beyond criticism'. In 1886 Maw published 'A Monograph of the Genus Crocus' the result of over ten years of collecting and research illustrated using his own watercolours. Many of the bulbs and plants he collected on his plant collecting expeditions were planted in the garden at Benthall Hall later owned by the National Trust. Correspondence between Maw and the friends and contacts who helped to collect the 67 species of Crocus detailed in his work forms a significant part of the archive. Maw retired in 1886 due to ill health and moved to live at Rangemore in Kenley Surrey changing the house name to Benthall. Frederica Mary died on 6 Feb 1894. George Maw died on the 7 Feb 1912." - British Museum. ""George Maw 1839-1912 was the industrious author and illustrator of his great 'Monograph of the Genus Crocus' 1886. A many-sided and remarkable man Maw was not a botanist by profession but a chemist and geologist a manufacturer of encaustic tiles at Broseley Staffs. His monograph the result of ten years of inquiry was the most complete work of its kind that has been published on any genus. The plates of this work are marvels of comprehensive detail and put to shame those of many more skilled draughtsmen. From a botanical point of view this work is a landmark."Blunt & Stearn".
