19440117551944. Scrapbook. Good. Spiral Bound. 11 x 15 inches 28 X 38 cm. Spiral-bound black card covers with pictorial inlay embossed floral design and gilt-stamped title Scrap Book. The covers are bowed a bit with light staining to the front cover rubbing wear to both covers and some edge wear. 31 pages numbered in pencil in the upper- corners. A magazine article pasted on one page is dated September 1944 which offers the best indication of when this scrapbook was created. The writing and grammar is that of a young student and this scrapbook was quite possibly a school project though neither a grade nor comments are found. Contents are found on both recto and verso of the pages and recto only for some pages. Inside the front cover is affixed a booklet titled "Our World in Pictures; The Cattle Industry." The first page has a pasted introduction hand-written on ruled notebook paper and pasted to the scrapbook page. Illustrated with newspaper and magazine articles as well as one color illustration and nonconsecutive numbered black and white photographic plates from a series depicting various aspects of beef production from pasture to processing plant to butcher.

The first Italian edition. Ferrari 1584 - 1655 was an Italian Jesuit and professor in Rome and a botanist. He devoted himself till 1632 to the study and cultivation of ornamental plants and published De Florum Cultura which was illustrated with copperplates by amongst others Anna Maria Vaiani possibly the first female copper-engraver. The first book deals with the design and maintenance of the garden and garden equipment. The second book provides descriptions of the different flowers while the third book deals with the culture of these flowers. The fourth book continues with a treatise on the use and beauty of the flower species including their different varieties and mutations. The plants featured in Ferrari's research came from Cardinal Francesco Barberini's private botanical garden the Horti Barberini a garden which was under the care of Ferrari. Several Cape bulbs are illustrated for the first time - most notably Haemanthus coccinea but also Amaryllis bella-donna Brunsvigia orientalis and Ferraria crispa. Hunt Library Catalogue rather downbeat in its comment - "The fame rests more on the quality of the engraved plates than on their contribution to botanical knowledge". Perhaps so but horticulturally I feel this is a fundamental work for its period. Nissen BBI 620; Pritzel 2877. Vellum. Good. Pier Ant Facciotti Hardcover
