Flore française is a book by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck and Augustin Pyramus de Candolle that was published in 1815 in Paris. It is a work on botany classification and the plants of France. Lamarck designed the book to help identify plants using dichotomous keys which are classification tools that help users choose between opposing pairs of morphological characters. Lamarck was a botanist who became a prominent figure in French science after studying with de Jussieu and the publishing this work. He was mentored by Georges-Louis Leclerc Comte de Buffon a leading French scientist at the time. Lamarck's work was well-respected by scholars and helped him gain membership to the French Academy of Sciences in 1779. He later became a founding professor at the Musee National d'Histoire Naturelle where he was an expert on invertebrates. First Edition. Full-Leather. Very Good. L'Imprimerie Royale Hardcover

017976Taurini: Ex Regio Typographeo Three volumes 1837 - 1843. A partial set of one of the rarest of Mediterranean floras.

The engravings are by by L. Fea S. Botta H. Mil and A. Nizza after drawings by M. Lisa and J.C. Heyland; there is a presentation inscription in Latin in the first volume from the author to Sir Charles James Fox Bunbury. Lacking the final volume which was not published until 1857. The fact that the plates volume is here labelled Volume III suggests that Bunbury received these from the author in 1843 and the final volume was never presented. The author was a botanist at Cagliari then at Turin where he subsequently became Director of the Botanical Gardens. His primary investigations were on the flora of Sardinia of which this work is the first and still the most complete and detailed account. Sir Charles Bunbury was a keen botanist and geologist with a particular interest in paleobotany. He collected plant specimens on expeditions to South America in 1833 and South Africa in 1838. He also accompanied his great friend Sir Charles Lyell the geologist on an expedition to Madeira. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1851. From Bunbury the set moved to the Leipzig collector and antiquary Oswald Weigel with his small stamp. Also in each volume is the later bookplate of Kenneth Lazenby a founding member of the Alpine Garden Society. The map is an addition to the published work and is equally rare - "Carta della Sardegna annessa alla 1a parte del viaggio in cetta Isola del Colonello A. della Marmora. 2da Edizione. Carte de la Sardaigne annexee a la 1e´re partie du voyage en cette Ile par le Colonel A. de la Marmora.".

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
