1850Best.-Nr. 193584Jersey: c. 1850. Botany of the beach An attractive and thoughtful compilation of pressed samples collected from the waters of Jersey each hand-lettered with its Latin binomial name. Seaweed collecting was along with other forms of scrapbooking a popular occupation for women during the Victorian era. Inextricably tied to religious and moral edification nature was at the centre of the Victorian domestic imagination. Amateur collectors were "drawn to the study of the natural world as a culturally approved form of recreation seen as aesthetically pleasing educational and morally beneficial since they lifted the mind to a new appreciation of God" Logan p. 144. Seaweed collecting also served as an avenue for the exploration of science particularly for those who were not expected to study it for its own sake but as a social accomplishment. Materials for a seaweed album could be purchased from most seaside resorts; Queen Victoria herself was known to take part in the hobby. Duodecimo 92 x 63 mm. Comprising 14 specimens mounted on white paper stock and affixed to concertina-bound pink paper stock unfolding to 88 mm each sample captioned in manuscript rear page stamped "Jersey Algae".

FIRST AND ONLY EDITION OF THIS EXTREMELY RARE MONOGRAPH ON ALGAE BY ONE OF THE PREEMINENT NATURALISTS OF THE EARLY 19TH CENTURY. Title-page + 30 pp + 3 full-page COLOR-PRINTED stipple-engraved plates with 14 figures in all. This is a specially-printed separata from Bory's "Dictionnaire classique d'histoire naturelle" (17 volumes 8vo, Paris, 1822), a set of which Darwin took along during his journey aboard the H.M.S. Beagle. While it was printed 16mo, EACH LEAF HAS BEEN CAREFULLY INSET INTO A LARGER LEAF IN ORDER TO PRODUCE AN 8vo VOLUME SO THE PLATES WOULD NOT HAVE TO BE FOLDED (and indeed they are not). WorldCat locates only one copy of this offprint (Basel Universit‰tsbibliothek). 8vo. Bound in contemporary leather-backed marbled boards. Binding lightly worn. Internally fine and bright but for a few old scholarly annotations on figure 5. VERY RARE.
Eccellente incisione creata dal maestro Pierre Jean Francis Turpin. Le scritte indicanti la specie e la descrizione della pianta o animale sono in italiano e/o latino, e provengono dalla prima edizione italiana del Dizionario di scienze naturali edito da Battelli nel 1831. Quest'opera imponente era composta da 29 volumi ed era corredata da centinaia di incisioni che rappresentavano tutto il mondo animale e vegetale. L'opera deriva da un eccellente lavoro di luminari del XVIII secolo supportati dal Re francese Louis XV in seguito guidati dallo stesso Turpin, considerato al tempo il più grande incisore di botanica. La maggior parte delle incisioni sono firmate Turpin & Pretre. Le incisioni sono veramente eccezionali con una grande dovizia di particolari e dipinte a mano. Carta bianchissima e resistente di ottima qualità. Formato foglio: cm 25,5x17. Formato incisione: 15,5x9 Autore: Corsi su disegno di Turpin In buone condizioni.
