Description:
1880 1ed Dairy Farming by Sheldon Agriculture Cattle Color Illustrated Milk Cows

John Sheldon's 'Dairy Farming' is one of, if not the most important late 19th-century British treatises on farming and maintaining dairy cattle. This book covers a variety of topics including how to breed dairy cows, feeding with plants and weeds, milking, how to sell and trade milk, as well as the milk and dairy industry in various countries including America and Canada.

While the contents of this work are important, accurate, and still viable, the color illustrations are without question the most desirable aspect of this book. Illustrated with 25 chromolithographic plates of cows, barns, and farm plans.

Description:
[6], LXXIV, [2]; [4], [10] pp.Presentation copy of one of the most beautifully produced works on cattle, by the "zootechnician", Émile Baudement (1810-1864). The 87 plates of bovine animals are arranged by origin, each region with its own part-title: England, Holland and Denmark, Switzerland and Germany, (the empire of) Austria, and France. Many of the excellent plates are after photographs by Adrien Nadar. Artists like Emile van Marcke, Isodore Bonheur and Barye contributed to this work. "The plates were produced by a mixed process of photographic transposing on to a metal plate (heliography) followed by handwork of various kinds - soft ground etching, mezzotint and aquatint, the background tint being achieved by lithography" (Boalch).While regular copies are bound in green half roan, with plain cloth sides, the present set is bound in red half morocco, with gold-blocked red cloth sides with the note "offert par le Minstre de l'Agriculture". All copies include a preliminary "rapport" on the work by… Read More

1701 FAMOUS Georgica Curiosa by Hohberg Agriculture Gardening Husbandry FARMS
Wolf Helmhardt von Hohberg was a 17th-century Austrian author best-known for his book 'Georgica Curiosa'. This book proved to be one of the most prolific agricultural encyclopedias of the 17th-century. When Hohberg began work on 'Georgica Curiosa', there seemed to be a need for a more thorough 'household' reference for families. It covered a wide variety of topics including:
· home gardening
o managing mills
o registering farmland
o growing fruits and making wine
· social and cultural expectations
o quarrels and public fights
o engaging with gypsies
· household behavior
o prayer, conduct in God's eyes
o raising children
o how to treat servants, drunkards, unhealthy persons, suspicious people
(by not bringing them into your home, says Hohberg)
· distilling methods
· smelting metals
· hunting and forestry; husbandry, fishing
o dealing with bees and silkworms
o gathering eggs, raising chickens and poultry
· farming
