Description:
Very good copy of a classic of English 18th-century pomological literature.
With 79 beautiful fruit plates drawn by Batty Langley, and engraved on copper by Thomas Bowles, John van der Gucht, James Smith, John Carwitham, etc.
With 79 engraved plates, of which 11 are double (double plates with two Pl. numbers). The fruits include many varieties of apples, pears, plums, figs, cherries and strawberries as you would expect in a British orchard, but there are also many grape varietals (Muscadine, Frontinac, Lombard, Brick, Burgundy, Esperione, Claret, White Raisin, etc.) to remind the reader that wine grapes had been grown in England since the Roman era.

Among his many books were An Accurate Description of Newgate (written while he was imprisoned there for debt) 1724, New Principles of Gardening 1728, Pomona 1729, Ancient Masonry 1733~,… Read More

Very good copy of this rare suite of fashion plates by the prolific Louis-Marie Lanté
With 39 (of 47) hand-coloured fashion plates showing the elegant costumes of Parisian female workers and tradeswomen of the 1820s
No title page or text as usual.
It's likely that Lanté drew these women in the streets and stores of Paris as they went about their work. A student dancer strikes a pose, a presser irons lace cloth on a table, an art student carries a box of oil paints, and a sutler to the National Guard offers a dram. There is a maid, laundrywoman, chambermaid, servant and nanny. There are many modistes: a fashionable embroiderer, knitter, seamstress, straw-hat maker, dressmaker, milliner, cobbler, hair braider, cosmetic seller and a shopgirl. There are also many itinerant tradeswomen including a florist, crockery seller, oyster shucker, haberdasher, dairywoman and plaisir (sweet) seller offering their wares.

Description:
A very good selection of handcoloured costume plates from a rare volume
The plates were published in booklets of 6 every 20 days: 2Fr 50 centimes for subscribers to the Bibliotheque universelle des Voyages, and 3Fr for non-subscribers. It's rare to find complete sets in any condition.
With 47 plates (of 90 published), one duplicated (Pl. 81)
All very finely hand-coloured with vibrant hues
Mostly by Leopold Massard, a few by Ferdinand Wachsmuth and J. David
Many of the titles on the plates do not match the subject. Thus an Indian Raja is labeled Emperor of Japan, a Burmese noblewoman described as Japanese, California mislabeled as Mexico, Rio de Janeiro as Cincinatti, Alaska mistaken for Greenland, the Marshall Islands for Byron Isle, Polynesia for South America, etc. This seems to be common with other issues of these plates.
"Drawn by Wachsmut[h] and Massard after the original sketches made by the explorers themselves. Engraved on steel and handcoloured with great care."
The plates are adapted from… Read More

Description:
Very good copy of Volume XVIII (18) of Edwards's Botanical Register, 1832
Complete with all 88 (8 folding) hand-coloured botanical plates (No. 1477-1564).
Most by talented woman botanical artist Miss Sarah Drake (59), the others by J.T. Hart and (his sister?) M. Hart, William Herbert, John Lindley (1) and Charles Morgan Curtis (1).
Includes many new exotic species of showy orchids (13), as well as camellia, aster, acacia, air plant, azalea, fuchsia, delphinium, lotus, cactus, pears, etc. Sarah Drake's dynamic and graceful flowers really stand out here compared to the rather stiff and angular designs of the other artists.
