| Geraniaceae - Erodium macradenum Caryophyllaceae - Dianthus alpinus From: The garden. An illustrated weekly journal of horticulture in all its branches by William Robinson (editor). London, 1884, July - December, volume 26, plate 455. Chromolithograph (sheet 280 x 217 mm). Text enclosed. € 65
All gardeners owe an infinite debt of gratitude to
William Robinson - founder of The Garden (1871-1927) and Flora and
Sylva (1903-05), and author of The English Flower Garden (1883, etc.)
and other works - who helped to break the tyranny of formal bedding and, like
Ruskin, drew attention to the beauties of the wild garden. Among the artists
whom he employed was Henry Moon, who struck a new and personal, if not entirely
healthy, note in botanical illustration. … (Blunt & Stearn). From 1880 Henry
George Moon’s plant portraits dominated the pages of The Garden, a
popular horticultural publication. Renowned for his lifelike paintings of
orchids, Moon appealed to Robinson because of his ability to sketch flowers in a
graceful, naturalistic style. The subtle colourings of his paintings and simple
arrangement of flowers were very unlike the more stylised renderings that
appeared in competitors’ publications. The beautiful colour-plates were
lithographed and printed by the Belgian firms G. Severeyns and J.L. Goffart,
notable for their craftmanship.* Blunt & Stearn pp. 239-240; Nissen BBI 2264; B-P-H 391-10. |

| Geraniaceae - Geranium pratense From: Flora batava by Jan Kops, Herman Christiaan van Hall and others. Amsterdam, J.C. Sepp, 1828, volume 5, plate 339. Hand-coloured engraving (unpressed sheet 242 x 299 mm). Text enclosed. € 140
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. 324; Nissen BBI 2247; Great flower books p. 63; Landwehr 60; Stafleu & Cowan 3874; Johnston 663; A hundred highlights from the Koninklijke Bibliotheek 70. |

This attractive work was also issued in Brussels as
Herbier de l’amateur de fleurs. It is not certain to which issue this
plate belongs. Most of the highly decorative plates are by Pancrace Bessa,
a pupil of Pierre-Joseph Redouté.* Pritzel 5586; Nissen BBI 2323; Great flower books p. 85; Stafleu & Cowan 4952; Johnston 795. |
