Fine unpressed copy. € 2.200 "Pieter de la Court van der Voort [1664-1739], a cloth merchant at Leiden discusses in this book theoretical aspects of garden design. He published the book very late in his career, but practised his ideas certainly before 1700 at his estate 'Allemansgeest' (todays 'Berbice') at Voorschoten near Leiden. His father Pieter de la Court (1618-1685) was an influential politician who also had a taste for gardening. Besides a theoretical treatise De la Court also gives much practical information on gardening. He discusses amply the cultivation of the pineapple, one of his favourite subjects. He grew these plants in quantities and kept them during the winter in a heated glasshouse and in summer in the 'tan frame'. ... It is sometimes believed that Pieter de la Court sr. popularized pineapple growing in his day. This seems most unlikely as by the time of his death in 1685, the necessary facilities were hardly available, and the production of only a single fruit was nothing short of a miracle ..." (Wijnands). "The book of Pieter de la Court published after 50 years of experience in 1737, has a very long title, though with its accurate descriptions of the construction of greenhouses as well as the cultivation of pineapples, it seems to me to be one of the most important books of the 18th century concerning protected cultivation. Knoop also mentioned that Court was the inventer of the lean-to house" (Muijzenberg). There are several editions of this work in Dutch (1737, 1763, 1766) and translations in German (1758) and in French (1750). The fine plates are by J.C.
