- very good
- Hardcover
Princes Street, Hanover Square, London: T & J Allmann, 1822. Illustrated with three simple hand-coloured plates, octavo, pp xii, 378, extremely clean and sound inyternally, half calf and marbled boards, raised bands and leather label to the spine, very slight signs of wear. With the armorial bookplate of Sir Charles William Hamilton, 2nd Baronet, and his small neat signature on the title page. [Phillips lived much of his life on the south coast, and gained a national reputation as a landscape gardener. His first plan for the development of a lrge site in Kemp Town, Brighton, was rejected, but the second attempt five years later was accepted. His grandiose Anthaeum project, an elaborate indoor botanical garden topped by "the largest dome in the world", ended in disaster when the structure spectacularly collapsed just before its official opening. His ideas on the layout of plants and flowers in relation to their surroundings were influential. When Brighton and Hove City Council restored the gardens and grounds of the Royal Pavilion to show how they would have appeared at the height of the Regency era, they did so according to Phillips' ideas - specifically his belief that "a well-planted shrubbery depends on the selection of trees and shrubs which succeed each other in blossoming throughout the year, as well as contrasting shades of green ... and under-planted flowers".]. Second edition. Half Leather. Very Good.

Regensburg, Germany: Zacharias Romberg, 1745. 12 7/8" by 8 1/2 inches on a a sheet measuring 15 3/4" X 9 3/8". Original hand-colored engraving with mezzotint on hand-made laid paper. From PHYTANTHOZA ICONOGRAPHIA, edited by the pharmacist and botanist Johann Wilhelm Weinmann (1683-1741), published 1737-1745 and referenced on page 151 of Sitwell's GREAT FLOWER BOOKS. More than half of the plates were drawn by Georg Dionysius Ehret, perhaps the most notable botanical illustrator of the 18th century; they were engraved by Bartholomew Seuter, Johann Elias Ridinger, and Johann Jakob Haid. This engraving, like the other plates in this monumental and scarce work, is characterized by a more realistic depiction than was found in earlier herbals. The print is clean and bright, with a few spots of foxing in the image's background as well as several faint smudges limited to the blank margins.. First Edition. Single Sheet. Very Good+. Illus. by Georg Dionysius Ehret. Folio - over…

Yet that voyage played an important part in the history of Australian and Pacific colonization, and in the long story of worldwide scientific exploration. Departing Le Havre in 1800, Baudin's expedition comprised two ships--the Naturaliste and the Géographe--and 238 men, including 22 scientists. For most of the next three-and-a half years they travelled along the western and southern coasts of Australia, charting the coastline and…
