004923Wraps. Very Good. Scarce with no copies located on OCLC FirstServe. N.d. circa 1914 when the fragrance "Un Air Embaume" was first introduced. 8vo. 24 by 21 cm. Unpaginated 12 leaves plus tissue guards and wraps with nine of those being color plates. Rigaud as a parfumier dates back to 1852. At the turn of the century it created and marketed fragrances associated with celebrities of the day -- one fragrance was named after the opera star "Mary Garden" -- and the company might well have been a pioneer in such tie-ins. The company also consciously pursued the Anglo market and capitalized on the Gallic vogue at the time for things English by naming a number of its products in English. The company remains in business today but its emphasis it now on home or ambient fragrances. In this glossy marketing brochure intended as much to build the exotic luxurious mystique of the companies fragrances as to peddle its specific products the color plates capture perfectly the sinewy rich aesthetic of the day with equal amounts of Art Nouveau elegance; the overripe almost lurid colors and styles of the Jugendstil or the Teutonic version of Art Nouveau; and the softer Rococo frivolity and flirty lightness epitomized by a Fragonard or Boucher. The Richepin poem that serves as a preface evokes the hedonistic possibly decadent sensuality that is the mood or mix of moods of the illustrations that follow. And so the names of perfumes are Prince Igor Marthe Chenal a French opera singer who like Mary Garden was particularly associated with Jules Massenet Pres de Vous Muses des Bois l'heure charmante lilas de Rigaud Oeillet d'Andalousie Mary Garden and des Roses.

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.
