One of the Earliest Flower Books with Handcolored Lithographs 7 William Reese Company Rare Books, Americana, Literature & Pictorial Americana 409 Temple Street, New Haven, Connecticut 06511 203 / 789 · 8081 fax: 203 / 865 · 7653 e-mail: [email protected] web: www.williamreesecompany.com Bulletin 45: Natural History A Classic of Early American Natural History 1. Abbot, John, and Sir James Edward Smith: THE NATURAL HISTORY OF THE RARER LEPIDOPTEROUS INSECTS OF GEORGIA. INCLUDING THEIR SYSTEMATIC CHARACTERS, THE PARTICULARS OF THEIR SEVERAL METAMORPHOSES, AND THE PLANTS ON WHICH THEY FEED. COLLECTED FROM THE OBSERVATIONS OF MR JOHN ABBOT, MANY YEARS RESIDENT IN THAT COUNTRY, BY JAMES EDWARD SMITH. London. 1797. Two volumes. Parallel titles and text in French and English. 104 handcolored engraved plates by John Harris after Abbot, some heightened with gum-arabic. Folio. Expertly bound to style in half calf and contemporary marbled boards, spines gilt extra, leather labels stamped in gilt. Fine. The earliest illustrated monograph devoted to the butteries and moths of North America. Abbot’s watercolors are among the nest natural history illus- trations ever made: elegant and scientically accurate, they rank with those of his famous contemporaries, William Bartram and Alexander Wilson. William Swainson described Abbot as one of the United States’ most important natu- ral history artists, “a most assiduous collector, and an admirable draftsman of insects. [This] work is one of the most beautiful that this or any other country can boast of” (quoted by Sabin). ,. Subscriptions to the “Birds of America” 2. Audubon, John James: [AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED, FROM JOHN JAMES AUDUBON TO HIS SON, VICTOR GIFFORD AUDUBON, SENT CARE OF ROBERT HAVELL, DISCUSSING NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR The Birds of America ]. Boston. March 23, 1833. [3]pp., with integral address leaf, on a folded folio sheet. Previously folded, with old separations along folds expertly repaired with no loss of text. A few very small edge chips. Paper restored where it had been torn away by breaking of seal. Light tanning, slight discoloration in isolated spots. Very good. A letter lled with palpable excitement and detailed information about subscribers in the Boston area. Written when The Birds of America was half way to completion and sent just prior to the voyage to Labrador undertaken by Audubon and his other son John, with much revealing insight on the process of publishing and distributing Audu- bon’s seminal work. A full description is available upon request. ,. Cock of the Plains 3. Audubon, John James: PINNATED GROUSE [GREATER PRAIRIE–CHICKEN]. [Pl. 186]. London. 1834. Handcolored engraving with aquatint and etching by R. Havell. Watermarked: “J. Whatman/1834.” Sheet size: 25⅜ x 38½ inches. One of Audubon’s greatest images. At the time Audubon was writing, the Greater tion was eliminated they soon disappeared. Today the remaining populations, much Prairie Chicken had already all but vanished from the eastern states. It was “still restricted, are carefully managed.

New York. 1845–1846 [but actually 1849]. Three volumes. Elephant folio broadsheets. Three lithographic titlepages, three leaves of letterpress contents. 150 handcolored lithographic plates after John James Audubon and John Woodhouse Audubon, the backgrounds after Victor Audubon, printed and colored by J. T. Bowen of Philadelphia. Expertly bound to style in half dark purple morocco and period purple cloth, spines gilt with raised bands, marbled edges and endpapers. [with:] THE VIVIPAROUS QUADRUPEDS OF NORTH AMERICA. Three volumes. Half titles, list of subscribers. Six handcolored lithographed plates (i.e. plates 124 and 151–155). Small quarto. Expertly bound to style uniform to the above in half purple morocco and period purple cloth, marbled endpapers. Very good. This is Audubon’s nal great natural history work. Unlike the double–elephant folio edition of The Birds of America, which was printed in London, the Quadrupeds was produced in the United States. It was the largest and most signicant color plate book produced in America in the th century, and a tting monument to Audu- bon’s continuing genius. A beautiful set of one of the greatest American illustrated works ever created. ,. A Classic American Color Plate Book 5. Allen, John Fisk: VICTORIA REGIA; OR THE GREAT WATER LILY OF AMERICA. WITH A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF ITS DISCOVERY AND INTRODUCTION INTO CULTIVATION: WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY WILLIAM SHARP, FROM SPECIMENS GROWN AT SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS, U.S.A. Boston. 1854. Broadsheet. Letterpress title, 1p. dedication to Caleb Cope, 12pp. text (numbered [5]–16); 1p. index, plate list, note, and errata. Six chromolithographic plates by Sharp & Sons of Dorchester, Massachusetts (five after William Sharp, one after Allen). Publisher’s cloth-backed lettered boards. Very good. In a green half morocco box. One of the most striking of American botanical books, this is also among the most successful examples of early chromolithography. “William Sharp, the lithographer, had honed his skills since his early and somewhat primitive eort in Mattson’s book twelve years earlier. In the large water lily plates of Victoria Regia, Sharp printed colors with a delicacy of execution and technical brilliance never before achieved in the United States”—Stamped with National Character. The plates of this book are the most dramatic early owering of chromolithography in America. This work, published in , was done on a scale and with expertise not previously seen. “Drawn with great decorative air, four color plates illustrate the progressive stages toward the radiant owering of the American water lily”—Roylance. An impressive tour de force of botanical illustration. ,. Among the Best Folio Flower Books Produced in America 6. Badger, Mrs. C. M.: FLORAL BELLES FROM THE GREEN-HOUSE AND GARDEN. PAINTED FROM NATURE. New York. 1867. Lithographed frontispiece and fifteen lithographed plates, all handcolored by Mrs. Badger. Publisher’s full black morocco, elaborately gilt, spine gilt, gilt inner dentelles, a.e.g., marbled endpapers. Very good. Mrs. Badger was an illustrator with an intuitive feeling for the decorative, as she amply demonstrates in this book. The plates, handcolored by Mrs. Badger over very light lithographed lines and without captions (thus giv- ing the plates the appearance of original watercolors), were executed in an era when chromolithographs were fast replacing such skilled hand work. “Though little is known about her life other than the landmark dates of her birth, marriage and death, Mrs. Badger’s ne drawings and talented hand have survived to keep her name alive”—Kramer. One of the Earliest Flower Books with Handcolored Lithographs 7. Bartholomew, Valentine: [A SELECTION OF FLOWERS]. London. 1821–1822 (on wove paper watermakred J. Whatman 1820–1823). Thirty-six handcolored lithographed plates, printed by C. Hullmandel after Bartholomew. Small folio. Modern half burgundy morocco and marbled boards, morocco label on upper cover, spine gilt. Very good. A very rare work issued by Queen Victoria’s ower painter, complete with all plates: one of the earliest ower books with handcolored lithographs. The plates, masterfully lithographed by Hullmandel, are beautifully and very delicately handcolored; the rarity of the work suggests that comparatively few were done, suggest- ing the coloring could have possibly been accomplished by Bartholomew himself. A Classic of American Natural History and Travel 8. Bartram, William: TRAVELS THROUGH NORTH & SOUTH CAROLINA, GEORGIA, EAST & WEST FLORIDA, THE CHEROKEE COUNTRY, THE EXTENSIVE TERRITORIES OF THE MUSCOGULGES, OR CREEK CONFEDERACY, AND THE COUNTRY OF THE CHACTAWS [sic]. Philadelphia. 1791. [2],xxxiv,522pp. plus engraved frontispiece portrait of “Mico Chulcco the Long Warrior,” engraved folding map, and seven engraved plates of natural history specimens (one folding). Contemporary mottled calf, spine gilt, leather label. Hinges and top of spine neatly repaired. Modern ownership inscription on front fly leaf. Small tear in titlepage repaired; tear in one plate neatly repaired. Light foxing. A very good copy in contemporary condition of a book almost always found damaged. In a red half morocco and cloth slipcase, spine gilt. This rare rst edition of one of the classic accounts of southern natural history and exploration also contains inter- esting material on the southern Indian tribes, including a chapter on the customs and language of the Muscogulges and Cherokees. “Unequalled for the vivid picturesqueness of its descriptions of nature, scenery, and productions”— Sabin. William Bartram (–) was the son of John Bartram, a noted botanist and friend of Benjamin Franklin, after whom he named a tree. Thomas Jeerson, another family friend, purchased plants for Monticello at the Bartram nursery, the rst of its kind, operated by William and his brother John. ,.

    “The infinite Universe of the New Cosmology, infinite in Duration as well as Exten- sion, in which eternal matter in accordance with eternal and necessary laws moves endlessly and aimlessly in eternal space, inherited all the ontological attributes of Divinity. Yet only those — all the others the departed God took with him... The Divine Artifex had therefore less and less to do in the world. He did not even have to con- serve it, as the world, more and more, became able to dispense with this service...” ALEXANDRE KOYRE, “From the Closed World to the Infinite Universe”, 1957 into the big world -26- “La raison pour laquelle la relocalisation du global est devenue si importante est que le Terre elle-même pourrait bien ne pas être un globe après tout (...). Même la fameuse vision de la “planète bleue” pour- rait se révéler comme une image composite, c’est à dire une image composée de l’ancienne forme donnée au Dieu chrétien et du réseau complexe d’acquisitions de données de la NASA, à son tour projeté à l’intérieur du panorama diffracté des médias. Voilà peut-être la source de la fascination que l’image de la sphère a exercé depuis: la forme sphérique arrondit la con- naissance en un volume continu, complet, transparent, omniprésent qui masque la tâche extraordinairement difficile d’assembler les points de données venant de tous les instruments et de toutes les disciplines.

  • Learn More About John James Audubon
    “How could I make a little book, when I have seen enough to make a dozen large books?” Birds of America, the culmination of 15 years of passionate study, was a mammoth undertaking. It cost $115,640 (approximately $2,000,000 today) and included 435 life- size prints of 497 bird species, engraved on copper plates by Robert Havell, Jr. and colored by an assembly line of 50 colorists. Printed on “double elephant” sized paper, Audubon laid out the images with an artist’s eye rather than by biological classification, reaping the scorn of ornithological purists, but winning praise even from King George IV. Scottish artist, John Syme, painted his portrait in frontier regalia (which now hangs in the White House). London’s Royal Society elected him a fellow. English and French noblemen became subscribers. “To have been torn from the study would have been as death; my time was entirely occupied with art.” Life after Birds of America was a continuing roller coaster ride for Audubon. He reunited with his family in the United States only to return to England to find that many of his subscribers were in default and that he had lost others due to the poor quality of the coloring of the plates. Yet he continued to add to his collection of bird and wildlife drawings, exploring the west, the Florida coast, and Labrador, and publishing three more books, including an octavo edition of Birds of America that included 65 additional plates. “A true conservationist is a man who knows that the world is not given by his fathers, but borrowed from his children.” After his death, Lucy sold the New York Historical Society all of the 435 preparatory watercolors for Birds of America.
