The first combined edition of Michaux and Nuttall was completed in 1849 just five years before this current issue was published. Sabin commented on the combined edition: '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 unrivaled 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.' Hand colored plates are bright; a remarkably clean and beautiful set lacking one volume in an elegant original binding. Philadelphia: Robert P. Smith hardcover

This publication is the most important work on American trees prior to the 20th century. It is the product of the efforts of two of the greatest naturalists to work in 19th century America Francois A. Michaux and Thomas Nuttall. The beautifully executed plates illustrate leaves and nuts or berries of American trees across the entire continent. "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"-Sabin. This is a reissue of the combined edition of the two works issued by the Philadelphia publishers Rice Rutter & Co. successors to Rice and Hart. Michaux's work was based on his extensive travels in the eastern half of America and those of his father from the 1790s on. Both men were friendly with Jefferson and other leading figures who aided them in their work and travels. His book was first published with a Philadelphia imprint in 1817-19 although actually printed in Paris where the plates were engraved as well. These plates were executed by the great French flower painters Redoute and his associate Bessa. The sheets of the first effort at reprinting were destroyed by fire but the copper plates were separately stored and survived to be employed in this edition where the work of Michaux fills the first three volumes. Thomas Nuttall was one of the most intrepid American naturalists of his day traveling extensively in the Mississippi Valley and the Far West in 1820s and 1830s to gather botanical specimens. His work designed to supplement that of Michaux covers eastern species missed by. unknown

réf. 234Cinq lettres autographes d’un feuillet in-4, dont trois avec enveloppe conservée. Le dos de l’une d’entre elles a servi de brouillon au surréaliste Charles Duits pour un extrait de lettre rédigée en anglais exposant des considérations pratiques à un destinataire non identifié. Si Charles Duits revient, dans Le Pays de l’éclairement (1967), sur ses rapports avec Henri Michaux et sur ses réserves à l’égard de sa méthode – qu’il qualifie de « malaxage » par trop défiant –, le cœur de la relation entre ces maîtres de l’expérience psychédélique se dévoile dans ces pages rédigées de 1958 à 1960. Michaux y encourage Duits à s’aventurer en lui-même au moyen du peyotl (« Le peyotl instruit chacun selon son penchant à être instruit, penchant jusque-là peut être secret. Je le vois et je vous y vois. Même s’il y a illusion. Vous êtes dans le vrai – vous montez le cheval – vous vivez supérieurement »), lui rend compte de ses expériences ratées, lui propose d’essayer la mescaline, le psilocybe ou encore la transe par le jeûne. Si y sont évoqués les spectres de Spinoza et de Chateaubriand ou, plus près de nous, la figure d’Henry Cor bin, ce sont les échanges pratiques, sobres, voire secs, au sujet de la drogue et de ses enseignements qui dominent ses lettres.

Stated in the preface to this edition: "The whole of the sheets of the last imprint were destroyed by a fire at the bindery wither they had been sent for collation; but fortunately the French copper-plates were in another building.

Michaux's volumes contain 156 hand colored plates all protected with tissue guards; and Nuttall's volumes contain 121 hand colored plates also protected with tissue guards. Nuttall's title: "The North American Sylva. and Nova Scotia not described in the work of F.

The publisher used the newer lithographic method for the Nuttall volumes since they did not have engraved plates in stock as they had for the Michaux. unknown
1801réf. 1642361801. MICHAUX André. Histoire des Chênes de l'Amerique ou Descriptions et Figures de toutes les espèces et variétés de Chênes de l'Amérique Septentrionale Considérées sous les rapports de la Botanique de leur culture et de leur usage. 4 7 49 pp. 36 leaves of engraved plates 32 after Pierre Joseph Redouté and 4 by Henri-Joseph Redouté. Folio 460 x 300 mm bound in original boards with purple linen spine in a new cloth folding box. Paris: l'Imprimerie de Crapelet 1801. First Edition. A splendid work on American oak trees illustrated with engravings by Joseph Redouté and his brother Henri-Joseph. André Michaux is not to be confused with his son Francois André Michaux the author of The North American Sylva which is considered the most important early work on American trees. André originally came to America in 1785 as Royal botanist under Louis XVI where he undertook extensive travels doing research on behalf of the king. After the Revolution he was asked to undertake a Western expedition by Jefferson and it is presumably from this and his previous travels that the information in this book was collected. The Redouté brothers provide and elegance to Michaux's work with engravings displaying both depth and texture to the botanical subject matter. The linen spine is fraying and there is occasional foxing and staining which is pretty much confined to the margins however this is a nevertheless a very good copy of a rare book of which there has been no copy at auction since 2004.
