16-6178England: Circa 1520-1530 prints reroduced by Hugh Evelyn 1972. 15 color prints each matted and 14 are also shrinkwraped. 16 x 13 inches mat size. 41 x 33cm.Tudor Plants and Trees:Published 1972 by © Hugh Evelyn; They were drawn by an artist unknown between 1520 and 1530.Known as “MS Ashmole 1504†or the Tudor Pattern Book the originals are held in the Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford.Printed on high white matt cardstock of 139 gm/sm².Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford.This series of Hugh Evelyn © prints was published in 1972 and comprises some of the images in MS Ashmole 1504 known today as the Tudor Pattern Book which is held in the Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford. The images drawn between 1520 and 1530 were finished in gouache and watercolour with pen and ink on vellum. Names of species are written in early English directly above each drawing in large textura narrow angular letters with a strong vertical emphasis in pen and black ink; the initial letter of each species name is written in Lombardic style in pen and red ink. .A similar manuscript a variant twin was purchased for Paul Mellon by his fellow Yale alumnus Laurence Claiborne Witten II at Sotheby’s in June 1961. It had lain at Helmingham Hall near Stowmarket in Suffolk England seat of the Tollemache family for 400 years.Known as the Helmingham Herbal and Bestiary it is today held at the Yale University Centre for British Art in New Haven Connecticut USA founded by Mellon. Both manuscripts may be by the same hand as they have many similarities in form and style. The main difference manuscripts is that the Pattern Book shows 2 species on each page with various paraphernalia in miniature beneath whilst the Helmingham comprises 4 images on each page but without the miniature images beneath. It seems that images from two famous contemporary works have been reproduced in the Pattern Book: “St Eustace†c. 1501 an engraving by Albrecht Dürer 1471-1528 held by the Royal Collection London and “Adam and Eve†1526 a painting by Lucas Cranach The Elder 1472-1553 held by the Courtauld Institute of Art in London. But no such reproductions appear in the earlier Helmingham manuscript.The images shown in our collection of prints comprise plants ostensibly native to England. Henry Black assistant keeper of Public Records in 1845 considered this was the Book of Patterns of an illuminator of manuscripts. The late W.O. Hassall himself librarian at the Bodleian Western Manuscripts and to the Earl of Leicester at Holkham agreed whilst questioning if it might be a private textbook for a child. He thought the style of the pictures and of the English suggests some influence from the Low Countries.Nicolas Barker a British historian of printing and books and lately head of Conservation at the British library has more recently studied both manuscripts. He speculates that the Yale images are older than the Tudor Pattern Book by about 20 years. He also suggests that both manuscripts may have existed together at Helmingham and were possibly used by Lionel Tollemache as pattern books when he began renovation at the start of the sixteenth century. The house was then called Creke Hall. He surmises that they may have been used as educational primers for the Tollemache children endorsing the opinion of Hassall.Elias Ashmole 1617-92 was an English antiquary politician officer of arms astrologer and student of alchemy. He supported the royalist side during the English Civil War. At the restoration of Charles II he was rewarded with several lucrative offices. Through a carefully planned if unhappy marriage Ashmole came into the wealth he needed to pursue his twin ambitions: the study of alchemy and the acquisition of things. He acquired collections from 1 Simon Forman 1552-1611 an astrologist occultist and herbalist active during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I who left his collection to his protégé Richard Napier whose son sold it to Ashmole; and 2 William Lilly 1602-1681 an astrologer who supported the Parliamentarians during the Commonwealth. He had also acquired fairly or otherwise the collections of John Tradescants Senior and Junior gardeners to Robert Cecil and Charles I respectively. Their employers had sent their gardeners off around the world to find plants and other ‘curiosities’. Ashmole’s gifted his collection to Oxford University and the Tradescant “curiosities†which had been part of a private museum called “The Ark†in Lambeth London formed the basis to the founding of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford the first public museum in Britain. Ashmole’s manuscripts and those of Anthony Wood 1632-1695 an antiquary at Oxford and Sir William Dugdale another antiquary and a herald who also became Ashmole’s father-in-law were moved to the Bodleian Library in 1860.Provenance: From the collection of Frederic Gale Ruffner Jr. the founder of Gale Research Detroit.

A significant letter relating to an important collection. Fielding bequeathed his herbarium and botanical library to the University of Oxford where as the Oxford DNB explains they formed for many years 'one of the key resources for the study of botany'. Fielding informs his correspondent that he has been 'lately waited upon by a deputation from the London Royal Botanical Society to whom I have proposed presenting my Botanical Library and very extensive Herbarium'. The deputation have suggested that 'a certain number of Trustees should be appointed four to be named by myself'. Fielding has 'already solicited the same favour and obtained the obliging compliance with my wishes from the Earl of Burlington as President of the University of London Earl Stanhope President of the Medico Botanical Society & Professor Owen of whose talents Lancaster has so much reason to be proud'. He asks the recipient if he will permit Fielding 'to add the name the name of one who has done so much for the advancement of my favourite pursuit'. He will be 'highly flattered' by the recipient's 'compliance'. He refers him to 'Mr. Sowerby the Society's Secretary' who will be 'happy to afford' information.

22732'7 Carey Street. Lincoln's Inn London Tuesday.' With postmark 3 December 1833. 4pp 4to. Bifolium. In good condition lightly aged. Addressed on reverse of second leaf with small seal in red wax and postmark to 'Revd. Charles Merivale St John's College Cambridge'. A long letter with the four pages of text followed by a long postscript at the head of the first page continuing to the last. An interesting intimate letter discussing his activities and writing and ending with aThe letter begins: 'My dear Charles I still direct from these unfortunate lodgings having been quite unable to find chambers to suit me in which I consider myself particularly unlucky: as all the world except myself appear to have found their way into decent habitations Neate in particular who has got a very pleasant little set of rooms in Lincolns Inn for almost no rent at all.' He turns to 'Other news' with reference to 'the revisorship' his 'Wiltshire operations' 'a stupid barbarian by name Taunton' 'Mrs. Spring Rice' and her husband who is 'feasting ministers in his house in Hertfordshire instead of making up & paying the accounts of us unhappy barristers who are desperately out of pocket by his delay'. He has his 'hands over full of writing' but does not find that he can 'do satisfactorily more than one thing at a time: consequently I undertake a great many jobs more than I am able to perform'. He has 'just finished or nearly so a long paper for Cochrane about the Italian Wars of Charles V.' and has 'also on the stocks one or two small matters for Blackwood: & ought to be in correspondence with Napier who wants me to select a subject & write for him but nothing has occurred to me worthy of my genius.' He continues with reference to the Edinburgh Review the 'Revue des 2 mondes a tolerable Paris journal' and again to his publisher Cochrane. As the letter continues there are references to 'Mrs. Mariott' 'De Morgan' and 'Mr. Frere'. He asks to know what his brother's 'proposals are with respect to Henry Drury'. The postscript gives a shrewd assessment of Dickens's future friend Edward Bulwer-Lytton: 'I have not read much of Bulwer & what I have I greatly despise. Not that I do not agree in many of his public ideas: but there is a mixture of affected philosophy & mortified vanity about him which would be amusing in one chapter but is detestable in 2 volumes - he seems to have aimed at being the most fashionable man in London - a leader in the House of Commons - and a first rate writer all at once: & to think it very hard that he has not succeeded - Had he addicted himself to one line only the composition of works requiring a mixture of passion & affection I think he would have come nearer Rousseau & de Stael than any English writer has done.' '7 Carey Street. [Lincoln's Inn, London] Tuesday.' With postmark 3 December 1833. unknown
