Floral Illustrations of the Seasons: Consisting of Drawings from Nature of some of the Most Beautiful Hardy and Rare Herbaceous Plants cultivated in the Flower Garden carefully arranged according to their Seasons of Flowering

ref. 0970London: R. Havell Marshall Simpkin and Thomas Richardson 1838. First edition reissue. Green morocco on the spine is lightly sunned a few plates trimmed along the lower margin occasionally touching plate-marks but with no effect to color images there is no plate number for plate 41; a tight bright and clean copy in near fine condition. Pp. vi 55 hand-colored copper-engraved and aquatint plates by Havell after Margaret Roscoe's drawings on wove paper with J. Whatman Turkey Mill watermarks dated 1828 interleaved with letterpress descriptions facing each color plate section titles Spring Summer Autumn Winter. Finely bound by Sangorski and Sutcliffe in three-quarter dark green morocco over pale green cloth boards spine with five raised bands gilt-lettered in three compartments and gilt floral decorations in other compartments top page edge gilt 4to 11.5 x 9 inches; 29 x 23 cm. The author was William Roscoe's daughter-in-law and was better known as a botanical artist under her maiden name Margaret Lace. This work was originally published in 7 fascicles from November 1829 to 1831. The volume was published in 1831; this reissue has a date of 1838 on the title page yet the watermarks on the color plates are dated 1828 as in the 1831 printing. In this work plate 47 is placed as the frontispiece. Robert Havell's exquisite engravings and aquatints demonstrate his mastery as a natural history illustrator. The process for printing aquatint plates used by Havell in Floral Illustrations of the Seasons is uncommon. It was used in the early printing of some great flower books such as Thornton's Temple of Flora 1799-1807. In the aquatint process "the plate is covered in powdered resin and heated so that when it cools its resin coating has a fine network of cracks through which acid will etch the plate; gradations of tone are produced by stopping the etching at different stages using varnish to protect the pale areas from acid while the darker areas are further etched. The printed result is a very fine network of irregular lines building up various depths of tone" Rix - The Art of Botanical Illustration 1981 p. 178.

Havell, Marshall Simpkin and Thomas Richardson, 1838. First edition (reissue). hardcover

With: faux-leather album measuring 13 x 11 approx. and titled THE SCRANTON LACE COMPANY / Corner Glenn Street and Meylert Avenue on paper label to front cover. Interior marked curtains/table coverings book no. 3. Contains 273 images of various sizes cyanotype and gelatin silver mounted on black paper some captioned with names of product lines. Plus: two invoices for yarn and other textiles. Joints and edges worn several pages detached. Contents generally fine. A sizable archive of over 1150 images from the Scranton Lace Company a major manufacturer that operated from 1890 to 2002 consisting of samples used in home decor primarily window treatments and table linens - likely photographed for internal purposes. Composed mainly of product sample photographs including images of intricate lace patterns against a dark background and with inventory numbers pinned to the sample. Several enlargements of full table cloths and settings also included with those mounted in the album cut with striking effect to create the illusion of a three-dimensional perspective. More than 200 of the images are cyanotypes which are notoriously fugitive to light and are here uncommonly well-preserved. The company was a leading producer of decorative lace throughout the 1900s. Notably the invoices and marginalia indicate at least some of these styles were made from Rayon which had only debuted commercially in the U.S. in 1924. Also noteworthy firm designer Hugh Rodham likely responsible for many of the patterns pictured here is the grandfather of Hillary Clinton. The bulk of the companys extant archives are held by two regional museums: Pennsylvania Anthracite Heritage and The Waverly Community House. A comprehensive representation of period lace styles ranging from traditional to contemporary and art-deco patterns all rendered in exquisite detail. We will note for purely self-serving reasons that two small lots of about 50 photos both of a similar nature and from the same company made more than $1000 each at the 2015 Swann vernacular photo auction. hardcover books
