Ericaceae - Oxycoccus palustris
From: Flora batava by Jan Kops, Herman Christiaan van Hall and others.
Amsterdam, J.C. Sepp, 1828, volume 5, plate 383. Hand-coloured engraving (uncut, unpressed
sheet 246 x 305 mm). Text enclosed.€ 60
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.
