Text leaves with faint mottled foxing and minor browning and off-setting just a few plates with negligible faint spots or smudges otherwise A WONDERFUL COPY THE ORIGINAL SPARKLING BINDING IN AN AMAZING STATE OF PRESERVATION.<br/> <br/> This is a sumptuously bound copy of three manuals intended to teach the art of drawing to young persons written by the accomplished botanical painter who produced the renowned "Pomona Britannia." In an earlier career Brookshaw ca. 1751-1823 was a successful London cabinet-maker whose painted Neoclassical furniture attracted such titled enthusiasts as the Duke of Devonshire and the Prince of Wales but he suddenly abandoned this livelihood in the 1790s. Art historian Lucy Wood speculates that the sudden change was prompted by involvement in a financial or sexual scandal as he also parted company with his wealthy wife around this time. He spent a decade living under the name "G. Brown" teaching flower painting to refined young ladies before producing his first manual "A New Treatise of Flower Painting" which was finally issued under his real name in 1816. The three guides that make up the present volume were intended as a supplement to that work and they expand the subjects covered to fruit and birds. In the preface to this work Brookshaw observes that flower painting is a "peculiarly appropriate" accomplishment that may be obtained "without the expense of a Master a few elementary instructions and good copies being sufficient." The plates here are more highly finished than the examples in his original "Treatise" in order to "lead the young artist onward in a progressive line of improvement." Fruits and birds are added to offer a new challenge for the pupil and Brookshaw notes that while avian subjects lack the variety of botanical ones they compensate with "the inifinite number of attitudes they assume." Our elaborate and immaculately preserved binding is testament that our volume was never used as a drawing manual but was more likely enjoyed for its own merits as an attractive object.

With the book label of the physician and botanist Thomas Bell Salter. Of the utmost rarity. At the age of 19 Lindley was taken under the wing of William Jackson Hooker who at that time was still living in Halesworth before his move the following year to Glasgow. Lindley was impressed with a book he found in Hooker's extensive botanical library - Richard's "Demonstrations botaniques ou Analyse du Fruit considere en general" of 1808. He translated the work into English working for three days non-stop. When published it included six plates from Lindley's original drawings. The title page claims it includes the author's latest corrections and Stearn points out that the preface rejects Linnaeus' system of classification in favour of the the natural orders of Jussieu. This is the first book and the first published illustrations of the "father of modern orchidology" - one of the most importand and dominant figures of Victorian botany. First Edition. Boards. Good.

Meehan 1826-1901 was a noted botanist of his day. While he wrote a number of serious scholarly works on the subject this book was an attempt to reach a wider more popular audience. Meehan goal for this work was to improve popular comprehension of the subject without sacrificing good science and by the way at a price people could afford. The concept of bringing more sophisticated botanical knowledge to a wider audience was rare. However Meehan received a lot of critical success for this effort at that time Nissen Botany 1331. Although incomplete this format of Meehan's work is somewhat scarce. It includes installments from the first and second series and was published by the Prang and Robson firms.
