WARNER Robert; Benjamin Samuel Williams.
The Orchid Album comprising coloured figures and descriptions of new rare and beautiful orchidaceous plants. The botanical descriptions by Thomas Moore.
London B.S. Williams 1882-1897. . First Edition. Eleven volumes 4to 30.4 x 24.0 cm 528 lithographic plates by and after John Nugent Fitch on 527 sheets partly hand-coloured partly colour-printed. Original brown cloth gilt-lettered and decorated on covers and spine edges gilt. A fine set. A fine set of the first edition of Williams' magnum opus which set the standard for orchid description and illustration. Orchidelirium is the name given to the Victorian era of flower madness when collecting and discovering orchids reached extraordinarily high levels. Wealthy orchid fanatics of the twentieth century sent explorers and collectors to almost every part of the world in search of new varieties of orchids. Orchids were brought to Europe by companies or individuals who had financed collecting expeditions. Commissioned professional collectors would travel for months all over the world in search of rare new species. These expensive expeditions were often shrouded in secrecy and it was not unusual for collectors to spread misleading information about the locations where new orchids were found. New exotic orchids were most often sold at auction in London fetching extravagant prices. During this time very little was known about the cultivation of orchids and their survival rate was dismal. Through experimentation and by gathering more information on the growing conditions of orchids in their natural habitat knowledge was slowly being developed. This led to the publication of scholarly and well illustrated books on orchids. Amongst the most lavish and comprehensive of these was The Orchid Album. Published periodically to subscribers by Williams from his nurseries in Holloway London it was taken over by his son Henry after Benjamin Samuel's death until its conclusion in 1897. It captures a huge variety of orchids in their wild states before the onset of hybridization in the twentieth century. Each illustration is accompanied by a botanical description of the plants figured and notes on their cultivation. The illustrator John Nugent Fitch 1840-1927 was the nephew of the equally-prolific botanical artist Walter Hood Fitch. An excellent set by one of the great botanical artists of the day. Nissen BBI 2107 Great Flower Books 1990 p.149. London, B.S. Williams, 1882-1897. hardcover

WARNER Robert Benjamin Samuel Williams & Thomas Moore.
The Orchid Album comprising coloured figures and descriptions of new rare and beautiful orchidaceous plants. The coloured figures by John Nugent Fitch.
London: B. S. Williams at the Victoria and Paradise Nurseries 1882–97 . 11 volumes 4to. 527 fine hand-coloured lithograph or chromolithograph plates with tissue guards by John Nugent Fitch one double-numbered folding plate in volume I some with tinted backgrounds; chromolithograph plate Cypripedium Charlesworthii from another work inserted in volume X. Original brown fine diagonal-rib cloth gilt lettered spines and front covers spines and front covers with floriate panelling in blind & black back covers stamped in blind untrimmed endpapers yellow coated or with a pale grey or brown floriate pattern. Bookseller's ticket of David Bryce & Son Glasgow. Rear joint of volume I split at foot but sound scattered foxing to letterpress plates clean and fresh. A very good set. First edition of this magnificent work one of the great orchid books of the nineteenth century; bibliographies call for 528 plates but overlook the fact that the only folding plate which appears in volume I is double-numbered as 9-10 - this is a complete set and includes the four-page obituary for Benjamin Samuel Williams in volume IX. The Orchid Album was published at the height of the 'Orchidelirium' which had been building in Britain for some decades but which seized the imaginations of late Victorian horticulturists in the same way that the tulip craze inflamed the minds of collectors in Golden Age Holland. Anna Pavord writes "Some of the grander Victorian growers such as the Duke of Devonshire at Chatsworth in Derbyshire and the Duke of Northumberland at Syon House in Middlesex employed their own collectors but orchid fanciers like John Day acquired their best treasures at auction. Nurserymen such as James Veitch Conrad Loddiges and Benjamin Samuel Williams of the Victoria and Paradise Nurseries in Upper Holloway regularly sent consignments of orchids to be auctioned by Messrs Stevens of King St Covent Garden. It was in their sale room that after an epic battle with a fellow enthusiast Sir Trevor Lawrence a contemporary of Day's acquired the one single plant of Aerides lawrenciae imported by Frederick Sander from the Philippines" in a review of A Very Victorian Passion: The Orchid Paintings of John Day Independent 29 May 2004. The stunning plates are the work of John Nugent Fitch 1840–1927 nephew of Walter Hood Fitch: 'Fitch's work was more flamboyant than that of such predecessors as Ehret Redouté or the Bauer brothers combining botanical accuracy with a flair for page design. In Britain and Europe he had little competition being rivalled only by the Frenchman Alfred Riocreux' ODNB. A particularly attractive set in the bright original cloth bindings. Nissen 2107; not in Plesch or Pritzel. London: B. S. Williams at the Victoria and Paradise Nurseries, 1882–97 hardcover
