Chenopodiaceae - Chenopodium maritimum
From: Flora batava by Jan Kops, Herman Christiaan van Hall and others.
Amsterdam, J.C. Sepp, 1828, volume 5, plate 388. Hand-coloured engraving (unpressed sheet
243 x 304 mm). Text enclosed.€ 75
The Flora batava, a monumental work
forming a beautifully illustrated survey of all indigenous plants in the
Netherlands. It was started in 1800 by Jan Kops, 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). When finished at last in 1934, 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 colour-printing was
gradually introduced. Also several artists were involved, but the plates are not
signed, nor much information is given about them. The first publisher, J.C. Sepp
en Zoon, was renowned for its scientific colour-plate books. Each plate is
accompanied by a text in Dutch and French. The work was issued in 8vo and 4to.
This plate is in the most desirable large 4to format. * Pritzel 4822; Jackson p.

Chenopodiaceae - Corispermum hyssopifolium
From: La flore et la pomone françaises, ou histoire et figures en couleur, des fleurs
et des fruits de France ou naturalisés sur le sol français by Jean Henri Jaume Saint-Hilaire.
Paris, the author, 1831, volume 4, plate 398. Unsigned
stipple-engraving in colour by Jean Henri Jaume Saint-Hilaire finished by hand
(uncut and unbound sheet 175 x 265). Text enclosed.€ 50
Very rare work, which was published in parts from 1828-1833 in 6 volumes by the French botanist and
artist Jaume Saint-Hilaire (1772-1845). It was planned to issue 800 plates but
the regular publication was terminated with plate 544. Among those who worked
under van Spaëndonck or Redouté, or who based their style on the pure
water-colour technique which Redouté learned from his master, may be mentioned
Turpin, Poiteau, Bessa, Mme Vincent (b. 1786), Jaume-Saint-Hilaire, Chazal and
Prêtre. Most of these artists were the equals of Redouté in technical skill, and
given his opportunities might have won the same renown. … Jaume-Saint-Hilaire
was no less distinguished as a botanist, and his introduction into France of
Polygonum tinctorum, which yields a valuable blue dye, was of considerable importance (Blunt).
