Monumental work, started in 1800 by Jan Kops and forming an illustrated survey of all indigenous plants in the Netherlands. It was issued in instalments, resulting in a total of 461 issues with 2239 plates (numbered 1-2240, one double-page plate is numbered 1864-1865) in 1934 and to be bound in 28 volumes. Kops was a Dutch agronomist and professor of botany at Utrecht. The first 10 volumes constitute all that was prepared and issued under his supervision (later assisted by Herman Christiaan van Hall, Friedrich Anton Wilhelm Miquel and Johannes Everhardus van der Trappen). Volume 11 was edited by Pieter Marie Eduard Gevers Deynoot, volume 12 by Frederik Anthony Hartsen, volume 13-30 by Frederik Willem van Eeden, later assisted by Laurens Vuyck who was also responsible for volume 21-27. From 1930-1940 Willem Jan Lütjeharms was the editor for volume 28, in which he concludes that this work has ended now and that publication took longer than any comparable foreign flora: "De Flora Batava heeft langer geleefd dan een der met dit werk vergelijkbare buitenlandsche plaatwerken." The long publication period reflects the change in the technique of its illustrations. Initially copper-engravings were used, followed by lithographs, all coloured by hand, but from volume 25 was started with colour-printing, besides hand-colouring and volume 27 and 28 were colour-printed as a whole. Also several artists were involved, but the plates are not signed nor much information is given about them. Most plates in the first 3 volumes were illustrated by Georg Jacob Johann van Os. He was born in 1782 in The Hague and settled in Paris in 1826, where he worked for the Sèvres porcelain factory and was a painter of flower and fruit pieces, still lifes, etc. These early, finely engraved plates are exquisitely coloured by hand. The 80 plates of volume 8 are by Cornelis Johannes van Hulstijn. A.J. Kouwels illustrated volume 13-18 and from 1890 mrs. H.C. van de Pavord Smits illustrated the remaining volumes. Publication was started by J.C. Sepp en Zoon, renowned for its scientific colour-plate books. After Jan Christiaan’s death the firm gradually fell into decline and when the firm was discontinued in 1868, publication of the Flora batava was subsequently in the hands of the firms of De Breuk & Smits, Leiden, (Vincent) Loosjes, Haarlem in 1898 and Martinus Nijhoff, The Hague in 1911. Each plate is accompanied by mostly one text-leaf in Dutch and French. The work was issued in 8vo and 4to format which is also given in the list of 232 subscribers in the first volume.
Provenance: The Royal Society of Physics (Koninklijke Maatschappij voor Natuurkunde) Diligentia, located at The Hague, founded in 1793 and still active. Its unobtrusive library stamp in most volumes (on the free front endpaper and sometimes on the title-page).

This second enlarged edition, edited by James Edward Smith, with binomials, was published a half-century after the first edition, published in Amsterdam, 1737. The fine frontispiece shows a landscape with in the foreground the Linnaea borealis, drawn by Martin Hoffman and engraved by Adolph van der Laan. The first eleven plates, depicting 58 species, are dedicated to Dutch patrons who aided in the costs of publication. The twelfth is dedicated to Linnaeus himself by Jac.Phil. d’Orville, for it illustrates Linnaea floribus geminatis (borealis).
