"This is the first of a series of catalogues describing selections of the rare books and other material in the Oak Spring Garden Library a collection formed by Mrs. Paul Mellon. The 'Sylva' which deals with books and manuscripts on trees will be the smallest volume of the series describing nearly fifty books manuscripts or drawings from a tiny 1555 book on oaks to early nineteenth-century advice on large-scale tree-planting a range including both great books like Evelyn's 'Sylva' Duhamel's 'Traite des Arbres' and Michaux's 'North American Sylva' and more modest ones like Marshall's 'American Grove' which helped introduce the riches of American forests to European gardens in the eighteenth century. Each description makes clear the background of each book and its relationship to others while a generous number of illustrations in colour and black and white help to give an impression of their contents. Many of the Oak Spring copies have particularly interesting associations recorded in inscriptions book plates or binding details all of which are described."

Raphael Sandra. Introduction by Rachel Lambert Mellon.
AN OAK SPRING POMONA: A SELECTION OF RARE BOOKS ON FRUIT IN THE OAK SPRING GARDEN LIBRARY DESCRIBED BY SANDRA RAPHAEL.
Upperville Virginia: Oak Spring Garden Library 1990. 276 pp 4to 11 1/2" H. Patterned endpapers. "This is the second of a series of catalogues describing selections of the rare books and other material in the Oak Spring Garden Library a collection formed by Mrs Paul Mellon. The 'Pomona' describes a hundred books and manuscripts about fruit with illustrations taken from some of the most beautiful books on the subject as well as original drawings or paintings. The earliest book described is Bussato's 'Giardino di Agricoltura' of 1592 the latest 'The Herefordshire Pomona' an encyclopaedia of apples and pears from the 1870s. In between there is a gathering of fruit books large and small: La Quintinie's 'Instruction pour les Jardins fruitiers' first published in 1690 and translated by John Evelyn three years later Duhamel's 'Traite des Arbres fruitiers' and nearly fifty others from France and Britain among them Brookshaw's giant 'Pomona Britannica' and a handful of pocket-sized books of directions on grafting and cultivating the best varieties available. Sections on fruit-growing in these two countries are followed by others on fruit elsewhere in Europe including the books of Knoop Gallesio and Bivort and fruit in America with Downing Hovey and several sets of nurserymen's plates before chapters on citrus fruit beginning with Ferrari's 'Hesperides' of 1646 apples and pears peaches and soft fruit grapes melons and tropical fruit. Each description makes clear the background of the book concerned and its relationship to others while a generous number of illustrations in colour and black and white help to give an impression of their contents. Many of the Oak Spring copies have particularly interesting associations recorded in inscriptions bookplates or binding details all of which are described." Minor soiling on top/bottom of text block. Dust jacket has light edge wear/wrinkling - mainly at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds one 1" closed tear small area of creasing a top corner of rear flap. . Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good.
