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).* Pritzel 4404; Dunthorne 160; Blunt pp. 180, 182; Great flower books p. 61; Nissen BBI 988; Stafleu & Cowan 3311; Johnston 943. |
