SUPERB ORIGINAL WATERCOLOUR PAINTING - PLATE 122 FROM WILD FLOWERS OF THE WORLD Featuring the Following European Species Thunbergia Grandiflora Aeschynanthus Longiflorus and Phlogacanthus Guttatus

rif. 007903Painting. Illus. by Barbara Everard. Fine. Unframed. This is the original plate No. 122 from "Wild Flowers of the World" - a fine water-colour painting by the renowned botanical artist Barbara Everard b. 1910 died . It is a highly decorative work in very good condition with vibrant but accurate colours being much finer than the rather poor reproduction in "Wild Flowers of the World" suggests. And far larger too measuing 46 x 37cm. It has hand-written pencil notes to the reverse presumably in the hand of Everard regarding the species depicted and various printing notes. there are a couple of inconspicuous corrections/revisions to the painting Barbara Everard worked at Kew and is one of only nineteen "contemporary" botanical artists whose work features in William T. Stearn's "Flower Artists of Kew" 1990 plates 9 10 & 11 also published in America under the title "Botanical Masters: Plant Portraits by Contemporary Artists. New York: Prentice Hall 1990". Everard began drawing and painting flowers in 1947 when in the Far East. She has provided illustrations for many works among them O. Pulin and A. Huxley Flowers of the Mediterranean 1965 but her major work was the superb and highly successful 'Wild Flowers of the World' 1970 with text by Brian D. Morley. This monumental work whilst neither rare nor expensive has become a classic of the botanical literature in large part due to the 192 plates by Everard featuing over 1000 of the world's exotic and colourful plants - and this is a rare opportunity to acquire one of these original plates. Everard was a keen and accomplished gardener with a fine collection of orchids. She set up the "The Barbara Everard Trust for Orchid Conservation" recognising the need to conserve private collections of orchids as they often contained plants no longer growing in their native habitat. The Trust is administered by the Orchid Society of Great Britain as a separate charity. As much of her time was spent illustrating books she rarely sold her paintings privately and on her death left her orchids and the majority of her paintings and studies to the Royal Botanical Gardens Kew. Consequently her original paintings are rare but given their quality should be in every serious collection. We have a few other orginal plates from "Wild Flowers of the World" and would be pleased to offer discounts on multiple orders. For further details or images please do not hesitate to contact us. Please note: this painting supplied with mount and backing but not framed. 0. unknown

Plate #644 The Spike-crested Peacock Pavo Spicifer

1809rif. 4805London:: George Shaw and E. Nodder 1809. First edition. Fine condition with original bright hand-coloring. . A Fine and rare original hand-colored copperplate engraving by Frederick Polydore Nodder and/or his son Richard Polydore Nodder from The Naturalist's Miscellany. Octavo 6 x 9.5 inches 15.24 x 24.13 cm. Includes the original text in both English and Latin by George Shaw MD FRS. The Naturalist's Miscellany distinguished by the refined hand-colored copperplate engravings and astute naturalists' observations was aptly named as a diverse naturalists' compendium of the birds mammals reptiles insects fish and crustacean identified by seventeenth and eighteenth century naturalists spanning the globe particularly around the South Seas. Many of nature's most fascinating and unusual creatures were discovered during this period several of which were introduced through The Naturalist's Miscellany. Doctor George Shaw 1751-1813 Fellow of the Royal Society cofounder of the Linnaean Society as well as Zoologist of the British Museum contributed the text. Publication of the Naturalist's Miscellany ceased with his death in 1813. Upon the death of the artist FP Nodder 1770-1800 his wife Elizabeth and their son Richard Polydore Nodder 1793-1820 contributed artistically and editorially to the publication. Indeed a family affair both Frederick Polydore Nodder and his son Richard produced every one of the plates. A gifted and distinguished naturalist Frederick P. Nodder was the preferred Botanical Painter to Her Majesty Queen Charlotte. His early skills as botanical and animal draughtsman and engraver were honed from his association with Sir Joseph Banks who employed Nodder to complete and engrave the drawings from the sketchbooks of the late Sydney Parkinson. Parkinson accompanied Banks as botanical draughtsman aboard Captain James Cook's The Endeavor in 1771. Parkinson died on the return of this South Seas Voyage. These engravings along with the natural history collections of the British Museum were the basis for the mastery of the Naturalist's Miscellany. Frederick's son Richard P. Nodder a gifted animal painter in his own right was distinguished as botanic painter to King George III. At the time of its creation The Naturalist's Miscellany was highly coveted as a definitive natural history offering and as was the custom the work was issued in installments between 1790 and 1813. Each volume was dedicated by permission and dutifully inscribed to the most devoted patrons and contributors of the natural historical pursuits of eighteenth and early nineteenth century Britain: Queen Charlotte Sir Joseph Banks Thomas Pennant Esq. The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge The Trustees of the British Museum to name a few. Andrews1986 Blunt 151Coats 25 Sitwell FBB 142 Wood 482. Copyright: Lowry-James Rare Prints & Books 1/09.
