[BOTANY - DRAWING].
Various flowers. On verso: a sketch of a grape branch with grapes and leaves.
Netherlands 1650. Framed. Drawings 48.8 x 28.9-29.2 cm. Black chalk drawings occasionally heightened with white chalk including some light brown watercolours on grey 17th-century handmade paper without watermark. In manuscript 'Martagon' in brown ink. In lower right corner in manuscript the number '3' in ink. We have not succeeded in identifying the artist of these beautiful drawings. We know no other drawing that is clearly from the same hand. Two artists are mentioned as possible candidates Govert Flinck Cleves 1615-1660 Amsterdam and Gerbrand van den Eeckhout 1621 - Amsterdam - 1674. The present drawings are probably made around the middle of the 17th century in Holland. The composition is similar to some papers in florilegia such as Theodor de Bry 1611/1612 to 1641 and later but they never show so many species and the flowers on a sheet. This study could be a sketch for a painting not necessarily a floral still life possibly a landscape. In fine condition.l Cf. Bernt Die niederländischen Maler und Zeichner des 17. Jahrhunderts vol. 4 nr. 209 München 1979; Schatborn 'Een toeschrijving aan Govert Flinck' in: Bulletin van het Rijksmuseum 22 nr. 2/3 1974 pp. 111-121. unknown

A remarkable photo album documenting the recognized species of tobacco plants as established by Thomas Harper Goodspeed who established in his groundbreaking 1954 Genus Nicotiana 13 infrageneric sections grouping 61 then-recognized species of nicotiana by common and cytogenetic characters. Tobacco plants are widely used in plant virology due mainly to the large number of diverse plant viruses that can successfully infect them as well as serving indispensable in studies of genetic variation protein localization and purification. Goodspeed 1887-1966 originally worked as Curator of the University of California Botanical Garden and was the key figure in overseeing the Garden’s relocation to Strawberry Canyon before serving as its’ director from 1934 to 1957.

[BOTANY BAY] [BARERE DE VIEUZAC, Bertrand]
A Liberdade dos Mares ou o Governo Inglez Descoberto; Traduzido livremente do Hespanhol
Rio de Janeiro: Miranda & Carneiro 1833. Occasional light spotting. A fine copy. Three parts in one volume small octavo; in contemporary green quarter calf gilt. <p><p>The first edition in Portuguese of this unrecorded reference to Botany Bay.</p> <p>First published in 1789 in Paris Barère de Vieuzac's La Liberté des Mers was an invective against the British government whose maritime supremacy he described in such terms as "despotism" and "tyranny".</p> <p>This volume is a translation from a Spanish edition of Barère published circa 1820. In the Introduction Barère charges the British with a multitude of crimes including responsibility for the evils of the French Revolution; conspiring with American Indians to attack non-British settlers; aiding and abetting pirates; and exiling Irish and Scottish political prisoners to Botany Bay. This reference consists of seven lines of text which appear on p. xv:</p> <p>'"Quem concebeo e executou o terrivel plano de desterrar para o arido Solo de Botany-Bay aos Irlandezes e Escocezes e de assassinar em Hollanda Italia França e America todos os Virtuaosos patriotas que sustentavão com energia a liberdade e gloria de seu paiz". O Gevenrno Britanico'.</p> <p>Barère 1755-1841 was born in Gascony and practiced law until elected to the States-General in 1789. Elected president of the Convention in December 1792 he presided over the trial and execution of Louis XVI. This is the first edition to have appeared in Portuguese. None of the editions in Spanish or French have been traced in Ferguson.</p> </p> . Miranda & Carneiro unknown

[BOTANY BAY] ANONYMOUS
Le Comte d'Artois roi de Botani-Bay a tous les Fuyards Traitres Proscrits de la France
Paris 1790. Small hole to A4 affecting one word otherwise fine. Octavo 19 1 pp; disbound from a volume. <p><p>A very rare early "satire on French politics and English colonization" Ferguson. Likening those who fled the tumult of the French Revolution to the English convicts transported to Australia the author petitions them to join the future king of France in the newly established penal colony at Botany Bay: "le vaste continent des Terres Australes leur offre un pays nouveau asyle fait pour eux" "The vast continent of the Southern Lands offers them a new country a refuge made for them". The "count" continues that "c'est la Nation que vous etes dignes d'etentre c'est la Nation que je suis fait pour commander" "this is the nation that you deserve and that I am meant to command" and explains that in the Antipodes the laws are very different and virtue and vice are often upended.</p> <p>The satire evidently found an audience in Revolutionary France: a second edition was published in 1799. It appeared in the very first years of the English colonisation of Australia at a time when France had its own interests in the region and its own problems at home. La Pérouse commanding the Astrolabe and the Boussole arrived at Botany Bay on 24 January 1788 just as Arthur Phillip was moving the English settlement to Port Jackson. They spent six weeks in Australia before moving on.</p> <p>Toby R. Benis uses the pamplet to begin the introduction to his Romantic Diasporas: French Émigrés British Convicts and Jews 2009: "In 1799 a satirical pamphlet aimed at French émigrés and those inside the republic who sympathized with them appeared in England. Claiming to be produced in London the text was framed as an appeal from the Comte d'Artois Louis XVI's youngest brother calling on the 'cowards who fled France and to all those who have been banned from France-princes and valets traitors and bandits princesses and prostitutes' to join him in the British penal colony of Botany Bay: 'a new country made especially for them'. Styling d'Artois the "king of Botany Bay" the writer characterizes Australia as a de Sadian refuge for the worst elements of both Britain and the ancien regime bequeathed by the British government to the emigrant Prince and his circle to rule. A historical curiosity this document nonetheless points to a political and social dimension to exile in the Romantic period.". Romantic Diasporas focuses on how French emigrés Australian convicts and Britain's Jews embodied this state for Georgian society.</p> </p> . unknown

[BOTANY]. BESLER, Basilius
A Group of Four Peonies.
Nuremberg & Eichstatt 1640. . Four copper engraved plates with hand-colour; framed and glazed; plate size: 500 x 440 mm.; overall size: 512 x 603 mm.<br /> Magnificent plates from Hortus Eystettensis one of the earliest and most famous works in the field which provides a pictorial record of the flowers grown in the greatest German garden of its time that of Prince Bishop of Eichstatt Johann Conrad von Gemmingen. The garden was begun by Joachim Camerarius in 1596 and after his death in 1598 completed by Basil Besler a pharmacist from Nuremberg. A visitor Philipp Hainhofer in 1611 marvelled at the eight gardens each containing 'flowers from a different country; they varied in the beds and flowers especially in the beautiful roses lilies tulips'. The Hortus records this variety and beauty. The book is exceptional in every sense; in its variety and range of flowers in its size in its fine quality of engraving. It is also one of the earliest records of flowers from a specific documented garden.<br /><br />Besler was asked to complete the work by Gemmingen in 1606; the huge nature of the task was clear to Besler and he enlisted the help of his younger brother Hieronymus and Ludwig Jungermann a nephew of Camerarius. Printing the Hortus may have begun as early as 1607. Drawings were made in situ and from specimens sent by the Bishop to Nuremberg; the Bishop reported to Hainhofer that he had boxes of fresh flowers sent every week to Besler at Nuremberg for sketching. A team of at least 10 engravers were employed to translate the drawings to copperplates.<br /><br />The gardens along with most of the town of Eichstatt were destroyed by the invading Swedish troops under Herzog Bernhard von Weimar in 1633-4 although they were partially restored by later bishops. Many of the original drawings survive in the University Library Erlangen.<br /> Nissen 158; Pritzel 745; Hunt 430; Blunt pp 95-97; Stafleu & Cowan 497. Nuremberg & Eichstatt, 1640. unknown

He studied under his father and at the universities of Franeker Utrecht and Leiden also spending two years in France where he obtained an M.D. degree in Angers. Returning to Groningen in 1651 he joined the staff at the Rijkshogeschool Groningen which eventually became the University of Groningen. Here he taught for 24 years as professor of botany and chemistry. On his father's death he assumed management of the Hortus Botanicus Groninganus from 1658 to 1683. His botanist friends sent him seeds from the Dutch East- and West Indies Africa and the Americas. His daughter Hester died after eating Deadly Nightshade from the Garden. Munting subsequently developed a particular interest in the medicinal uses of plants.<br /><br />The present work Munting's best known was first published in Dutch as Naauwkeurige Beschryving Der Aardgewassen 1696. Illustrated were trees shrubs flowers and grasses of temperate zones with some tropical and subtropical plants that had been introduced to the Netherlands.<br /> Nissen BBI 1429; Hunt 404.

"The chief source of Erasmus Darwin's literary fame during his lifetime, The Botanic Garden contains a great deal of important and frequently advanced scientific information in the nearly 300 footnotes and the 115 pages of appendices to its verses..."? The Encyclopaedia Britannica. Provenance: Armorial bookplate of George Henry Arnold (1791-1844) to font paste-down; later bookplate of Ralph Hermon Major.

[ESTAMPE JAPONAISE] ; BAIREI, Kôno (attribué à)
Étude de Lys (Lilium) - planche d'étude avec mention manuscrite
1890 Kyoto, circa 1890-1895. Estampe originale (xylographie en couleurs), montage ancien sur papier orange puis sur carton, de dimension 39 x 26 cm. Présence légère d'un ancien point de colle aux coins, marques d'adhésif au verso du carton, petit manque de papier au feuillage (infime accident). Une planche illustrée montrant une fleur de lys épanouie avec sa tige et son feuillage. Cette planche se distingue par sa double légende manuscrite à l'encre de Chine. On note également la présence d'annotations techniques anciennes au crayon sous le texte et dans la composition, attestant de son usage comme planche d'étude ou d'épreuve de référence à l'époque Meiji. L'oeuvre est caractéristique du style naturaliste de Kôno Barei, maître de l'école Shijo à Kyoto, célèbre pour ses recueils botaniques de l'ère Meiji. Estampe en bon état sur papier japon d'époque.
