- Hardcover
Roma: Pier Ant Facciotti, 1638. Small thick quarto, pp (12), 520, [26], illustrated with an engraved title page, an engraved frontispiece (though here bound in after the preliminary pages) and 45 plates (of 46 - lacking the plate which occupied pages 55/56), some age-toning and slight foxing throughout, the plates a bit more browned but without the intense browning often found in this book, overall quite tight internally, one preliminary page and pages 395-398 protruding slightly and a little chipped and frayed at the margins, full vellum binding (probably original), rather used and marked but quite sound and firm, the upper and lower cover a bit warped and bowed, the front hinge cracked but firm and showing traces of old glue. 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.

Description:
Very good copy of Volume XVIII (18) of Edwards's Botanical Register, 1832Complete with all 88 (8 folding) hand-coloured botanical plates (No. 1477-1564).
Most by talented woman botanical artist Miss Sarah Drake (59), the others by J.T. Hart and (his sister?) M. Hart, William Herbert, John Lindley (1) and Charles Morgan Curtis (1).
Includes many new exotic species of showy orchids (13), as well as camellia, aster, acacia, air plant, azalea, fuchsia, delphinium, lotus, cactus, pears, etc. Sarah Drake's dynamic and graceful flowers really stand out here compared to the rather stiff and angular designs of the other artists.
The Botanical Register was launched by Sydenham Edwards in 1815 following his departure as main illustrator to William Curtis's Botanical Magazine. Edwards edited the magazine and drew most of the plates in 14 volumes until his death in 1828. John Lindley then took over as editor on a further 19 volumes under the title Edwards's Botanical Register from 1829 to 1847. By 1832, Miss… Read More

Square 4to, publisher’s original pictorial boards in the original decorated dustjacket. (30). A fine, bright copy. In clear, concise text and exceptional, full color photographs, noted science author Seymour Simon explains how different types of glaciers and icebergs are formed, how they move, and how they affect life on Earth. He also explores some of their mysteries: Can icebergs be used as a source of fresh water for dry lands? And will the ice ages return, covering the continents with glaciers as they did twenty thousand years ago?
