réf. 76230Gand (Belgique), éd. J.-S. Van Doosselaere, s.d. (circa 1863), in-12, plein chagrin brun "cognac", reliure contemporaine, 15 - (1 bl.) pp., belle grande planche représentant 3 figures en noir (un plan d'implantation en coupe dans une serre, une vue intérieure d'une vigne dans la serre et un plan d'une vigne en "espalier" dans la serre), L'auteur, Van Hulle, fut jardinier du Jardin Botanique de Gand en Belgique durant les années 1860 et 1870. Il publia quelques brochures horticoles et agricoles. Ce livret nous parle de l'implantation de vignes qui produisent du raisin de table, l'utilisation de ce genre de serre est à son apogée dans les année 1860/70 en Belgique, notamment au sud de Bruxelles et au nord du pays. Cette brochure nous explique la construction de la serre en verre et métal, le choix des cépages adaptés à la culture en serre, le chauffage de la serre, la taille et le palissage spécifiques, la gestion de l'humidité et la ventilation ainsi que le calendrier de production pour obtenir des raisins précoses. Un livret pratique, court et très technique ! Agrémenté par une très belle planche dépliable avec 3 figures en noir. Ce livret est probablement à un tirage très limité (inférieur à 300 exemplaires); les brochures horticoles belges de cette époque étaient imprimées "à la demande", souvent pour des dociétés d'horticulture ou des propriétaires de domaines, ce qui en fait la rareté aussi c'est qu'il s'agit d'un petit imprimeurs flamand du XIXe siècle qui furant peu conservés ! Il s'agit d'un "témoignage" rare d'une pratique viticole de ce 19e siècle en Belgique ! L'éditeur et l'imprimeur ont complètement disparus de nos jours. En résumé, il s'agit d'une publication qui n'existe que dans quelques rares bibliothèques universitaires dans quelques fonds privés. Ce livre n'a jamais été numérisé et n'est présent sur aucun site de vente de libraires. Ce livret est donc un "INTROUVABLE" ! Je termine par la reliure, moderne, mais neuve et sans indications, ni sur le dos, ni sur les plats. Trrès bon état de la reliure, du papier et de la planche dépliable

Blanche Henrey 1000. RARE - a good wide-margined copy. Second edition of the work which brought MacPhail's forcing frame and controversial method of cultivation to the public view. McPhail was gardener to Lord Hawkesbury at Addiscombe Place in Surrey. The brick frame was of his own design and a notable feature of this book is the detailed weather observations covering a complete year together with the precise treatment given to the plants on each day. The frame proved immensely popular and within 40 years Rogers 1839 was to state " an excellent invention that has certainly rendered the forcing of this vegetable more simple.there are few gentleman's gardens and few principal market gardens without them". . Second edition. Half cloth and boards. Very Good. T. Cadell & W. Davies; Bell & Bradfute Hardcover
1844Eight Volumes. Volumes 5, 6, 7 and 8 are plate volumes. Wonderfully illustrated. Bookplate of R. B. Wardlaw Ramsay. 8vo. Original full cloth bindings embossed in blind. Volume one missing spine. Hardbound set. Second edition. The Scotsman, John Claudius Loudon (1783-1843), was the most eminent early 19th century expert on landscapes, gardening, and agriculture. At the age of 20 he visited London and was shocked by the gloomy trees and plantings in the public squares. He published an article, Observations on Laying out the Public Squares of London" in the Literary Journal, in which he recommended the Oriental plane, almond, sycamore, and other lighter trees, instead of the lugubrious plantings that had hitherto been in vogue. His advice gradually prevailed, and the effect is still to be seen in London and throughout the kingdom. Now he was an author, as well as practical workman, and his pen went onward with little intermission for forty years. , until his life terminated. Many of his works were enriched with copperplate engravings of landscape scenery, drawn by himself. He became a successful practitioner and instructor in agriculture, gardening, architecture, botany, etc. His greatest work, which would of itself have been sufficient for any ordinary lifetime, was this Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum," in which he gave an account, with pictorial illustrations, of all the trees, wild or cultivated, that grow in Great Britain. This production, which was published in 1838, at his own risk, was so unsuccessful, that after paying artists and other persons engaged in it, he found himself in debt to the amount of L10,000 to the printer, stationer, and wood-engraver, while the sale of such a splendid publication was so slow, that there was no prospect that it would ever pay its own expenses. Though sick of heart and body, he went on to publish other enormously significant works that are valued today by collectors, historians, scientists, and all who work with plants in any capacity. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!

Jacob George Strutt (17841867) painter and etcher, studied in London, and was a contributor to the Royal Academy and British Institution at intervals between 1819 and 1858. For a few years he practiced portrait-painting, but from 1824 to 1831 exhibited studies of forest scenery, and he is now best known by two sets of etchings which he published at this period `Sylva Britannica, or portraits of Forest Trees distinguished for their Antiquity' (1822; reissued, as here, in 1838), and `Delicia Sylvarum, or grand and romantic Forest Scenery in England and Scotland' (1828). About 1831 Strutt went abroad, and, after residing for a time at Lausanne, settled in Rome. In 1851 he returned to England, but was not active after 1858. Nice copy of the First Quarto Edition, with the plates being mounted proofs on India paper. Bridson & White C537; Nissen BBI 1907. RARE. **PRICE MUCH REDUCED! PLANTS W134

1545In 8° (15,8x10,8 cm); 69, (1) cc.. Legatura in cartoncino molle. Un piccolo ed ininfluente forellino di tarlo abilmente restaurato nell'angolo bianco alto delle ultime 3 carte. Una piccola e leggerissima macchiolina, anche questa ininfluente al margine esterno bianco delle ultime 10 carte, praticamente invisibile e nel complesso esemplare in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Celebre marca tipografica di Valgrisi al frontespizio ed all'ultima carta con "Serpente attorcigliato a bastone a forma di tau sostenuto da mani uscenti da nuvole". Prima traduzione italiana, fatta dal noto letterato modenese Pietro Lauro, di questa importante opera botanica del grande medico ed anatomista francese Charles Estienne. Terzo figlio di Henri Estienne, uno dei più grandi stampatori nel XVI secolo, lasciò un profondo segno nell'agricoltura cinquecentesca e seicentesca. Ispirandosi ai classici greci e latini pubblicò alcune delle opere più importanti in tema botanico e di orticoltura della sua epoca come il "Seminarium'', il '' Re Vinetum Ortensia" o il ''Praedium Rusticum". Nell'opera qui presentata, in prima edizione italiana, l'autore descrive le piante più adatte e migliori da piantarsi negli orti, la disposizione da tenersi ed il modo migliore di allevarle e accudirle con notizie utili anche sul come proteggerle dalle intemperie e dagli animali. Prima edizione italiana, non comune e ancor meno comune, dato l'uso manualistico che ne veniva fatto, in queste buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione.
