Michaux F. Andrew
The North American sylva; or a description of the forest trees of the United States Canada and Nova Scotia . to which is added a description of the most useful European forest trees . with Notes by J. Jay Smith
Philadelphia: D. Rice and A.N. Hart 1857. 3 volumes; together and uniformly bound with: Nuttall Thomas. The North American Sylva . not described in the work of F. Andrew Michaux Philadelphia 1859 3 volumes in 2; together 6 volumes in 5 large 8vo portrait frontispiece and 277 hand-colored plates many after Redouté and printed from the original French copperplates; some toning of the pages occasional minor spots and stains but generally a nice copy with attractive coloring; publisher's full brown blindstamped morocco gilt lettering on spine a.e.g.; minor rubbing and scuffing but on the whole a very good and pleasing set. "Few American color plate books had such lasting popularity as this classic work on American trees or as tangled a publication history . Thomas Nuttall travelled extensively in the South Midwest and West between 1815 and 1835. One of his goals was to gather materials to supplement Michaux's work. His work on American trees not covered in Michaux was first issued in 1842-1849 . In 1856 a fire destroyed the premises of the publishers of the joint edition. The Michaux copper plates were saved but the Nuttal stones were evidently lost and the later joint editions as here used new stones" Reese. Sitwell Great Flower Books p. 120 & 124; Bennett American Nineteenth Century Color Plate Books p. 76; Reese SWANC 21; Sabin 48695: "Of the two works united it is no exaggeration to remark that it is the most complete work of its kind and is a production of unrivalled interest and beauty giving descriptions and illustrations of all the forest trees of North America." <br/><br/> D.

An early collected edition of Michaux and Nutall's classic work.

In Vol.III plate 107 bound before 106 plate 119 bound before 120 and plate 144 bound before 143 but with the text correctly matching up so most likely the plate numbers were printed in reverse.

Some foxing to tissue guards but other then the few minor instances mentioned above the text and plates are extremely clean. Overall a very nice set. From 1785 to 1796 AndrÈ Michaux explored the eastern United States on behalf of the French government. His work was carried on by his son FranÃois-AndrÈ in 1801 and 1807 and it was these travels that formed the basis for The North American Sylva. It was first published at Paris between 1810 and 1813 with 145 plates. The first English edition with 156 plates was published by Thomas Dobson at 1817 to 1819 under a false Philadelphia imprint. The plates were purchased by the American naturalist William Maclure who took them to New Harmony Indiana and produced the first American edition in 1841. He in turn left them to Dr. Samuel G. Morton of Philadelphia where they were first printed in 1850. The later Nuttall prints were done by hand-colored lithography. "Of the two works united it is no exaggeration to remark that it is the most complete work of its kind and is a production of unrivalled interest and beauty giving descriptions and illustrations of all the forest trees of North America from the arctic limits of arborescent vegetation to the confines of the tropical circle." Sabin 48695. "Few American color plate books had such lasting popularity as this classic work on American trees" Reese. MacPhail 36; Nissen BBI 1361; Sabin 48695.
