Valerianaceae - Centranthus calcitrapae - Valeriana calcitrapa 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, 1830, volume 3, plate 213. Unsigned stipple-engraving in colour by Jean Henri Jaume Saint-Hilaire finished by hand (uncut and unbound sheet 175 x 265). Text enclosed in photocopy. € 65
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 & Stearn).* Pritzel 4404; Dunthorne 160; Blunt & Stearn pp. 180, 182; Nissen BBI 988; Great flower books p. 61; Stafleu & Cowan 3311; Johnston 943. |

Valerianaceae - Fedia dentata From: Flora batava by Jan Kops, Herman Christiaan van Hall and others. Amsterdam, J.C. Sepp, 1832, volume 6, plate 451. Hand-coloured engraving (unpressed sheet 242 x 298 mm). Text enclosed. € 35
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. |

Valerianaceae - Valeriana officinalis From: Darstellung und Beschreibung sämtlicher in der Pharmacopoea Borusica aufgeführten offizinellen Gewächse by Otto Carl Berg & Carl Friedrich Schmidt. Leipzig, Arthur Felix, [1858-1863], 1. edition, volume 4, plate 28d. Hand-coloured lithograph (sheet 215 x 278 mm). Text enclosed. € 90

lithographed the plates. He was a prolific artist who illustrated many of the
German botanical works of the 19th century. Jackson describes this work, a
survey of plants used in the Prussian pharmacopoeia, as A thoroughly good book,
probably the very best of its class; both in text and illustrations.* Pritzel 646; Jackson p. 203*; Nissen BBI 139; Stafleu & Cowan 10.873. |

flower books). The beautiful colour-plates after illustrations by Walther
Müller and C.F. Schmidt, which were skillfully rendered in lithography by E.
Günther.* Nissen BBI 1085; Great flower books p. 62; Stafleu & Cowan 3806. |
