Hardcover. Condition: Fair. REDOUTÉ, Pierre-Joseph (1759-1840) & Claude-Antoine THORY (1759-1827) Les Roses, peintes par Redouté décrites et classes selon leur ordre naturel, par Thory. Troisième edition, publiée sous la direction de M. Pirolle Paris: Crapelet for P. Dufart and J.F. Hauer & Cie. of St. Petersburg, 1835. 2 volumes of 3 (being vols 2 & 3). 8vo. 134 plates printed in colors and with hand colored finishes. FAIR condition (3 out of 10). Scholar's copies. [++] This is a very problematic copy of one of the most beautiful botanical books of the 19th centuryjust gorgeous, luscious work. [++] Where to start with the faults? The bindings are broken, the boards are off. The books are housed in VERY sturdy clamshell boxes that have library call numbers on them. Here's the biggest point: each plate has a perforated library stamp at the bottom-left part of the plate. Most of the time the stamp does not rise into the flower itself, though they do so slightly) on occasion. The identifying legends at bottom ALL have some of the perforations in them. That said, the plates are pretty clean and fresh. [++] SO, if you have an interest in this, please send me a note.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. First. THE RARE LARGE-PAPER ISSUE, WITH THE ADDITIONAL SUITE OF PLATES IN BLACK ON OCHRE PAPER. Three volumes. Paris: Firmin Didot, 181718211824. First edition (bound from parts). Folio (21" x 14 1/8", 532mm x 358mm). With 342 engraved botanical plates (i.e., 171 in two states: black on ochre paper and stipple-engraved à la poupée with additional hand color): a garland, a portrait of Redouté (both black as issued) and 169 botanical illustrations. Bound in contemporary quarter green straight-grained morocco over green and red marbled boards by Tessier (his ticket to the front paste-down of vol. I). On the spine, five panels. Author and title gilt to the second panel, number gilt to the fourth. Head- and tail-pieces bumped, split and with losses. Repaired tears to the spine of vol. I. A little rubbed generally, more so at the edges, with wear at the fore-corners. Foxing to the first and last handful of leaves (at times moderate), with mild foxing throughout. The (colored) plates are unusually fresh. Lacking the instructions to the binder in vol. III (322). Lacking tissue guards to pl. 41 of vol. I (Rosa bifera officinalis), pl. 33 of vol. II (Rosa pumila)and pl. 54 of vol. III (Rosa Pomponia Burgundica) (modern acid-free tissue supplied). A 40mm closed tear to 52 of vol. III (pp. 19-20), not affecting the text. "1587" (an inventory number?) in ink in an old hand to the front paste-down of each volume. Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759-1840) -- the "Raphael of flowers" -- floated above the political changes in France. He went from the patronage of Marie Antoinette -- made desinatteur du Cabinet de la Reine in 1788 -- to the dedication in the first volume (marked "year 10" of the revolutionary calendar) to "Citoyen Chaptal," back to the patronage of the Empress Josephine and on through the Restoration; doubtless had he lived into the Second Republic he would have found great favor. He haunted the gardens first of the Petit Trianon and then superintended those at the chateau of Malmaison in Rueil (just south of Paris), which Josephine (whose given name was Marie-Josèphe-Rose) had bought. Provided with the raw materials by these women, Redouté set about illustrating. The Roses follows the success of his Liliacées (completed 1816), during which he and his collaborators mastered the art of stipple-engraving à la poupée: copperplate-printing in which the individual colors are applied directly to the plate using a small cloth bundle (a poupée is a rag-doll) -- and then finished, as usual, by hand. (At its best, there is no better way for an artist to ensure the accurate dissemination of his work.). The gardens at Malmaison contained hundreds of species and cultivars of roses, an anomaly in a period in which more exotic plants held a greater fascination. The text of Claude-Antoine Flory (1757-1827), himself a collector of roses, is considered a significant scientific contribution. Though Stafleu in his essay in the Catalogue of Redoutéana concedes that the principal enticement of Redouté's work is aesthetic, he reminds us that the work's "importance as a record of botanical knowledge of the genus Rosa should nevertheless not be underestimated" (op. cit., 26). Redouté published the work in 30 fascicles (livraisons) from 22 March 1817 through 6 March 1824, with six plates per fascicle (excepting the tenth with none and the thirtieth with one). Stafleu-Cowan counts fifteen examples of this large-paper issue -- with the additional hand-coloring carried out by Redouté himself -- with the plates in two states. Tessier was a binder-finisher established in the XVIIc. He was the exclusive binder to Ferdinand Philippe, the duc d'Orleans -- who would have succeeded Louis Philippe had he not predeceased him (and the July Monarchy fallen apart). Estelle Doheny's set was also bound by Tessier. Dunthorne 232; Hunt, Redoutéana 19; Nissen, BBI 1599; Pritzel 7455; Ray, French 89; Sitwell, Fine Flower Books, p. 71; Stafleu-Cowan 8748.

Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. First. First octavo edition. Paris: C. L. F. Panckoucke, 1824[-1826] Octavo (9 1/8" x 6", 232mm x 153mm). With 160 plates stipple-engraved à la poupée and finished by hand. Bound in contemporary red sheep with a gilt rose roll border. On the spine, 4 raised bands. Title gilt to second panel. Dashed gilt roll to the head- and tail-pieces. Gilt bead-and-reel roll to the edges of the boards. Gilt floral leaf roll to the inside dentelle. End-papers tiger-marbled. All edges of the text block marbled. Boards lightly scuffed. Abrasion to the lower spine-edge of the rear turn-in. Light staining throughout. Darker foxing along the top edges of c1 and c2 of the 33rd part (text to Rosa pomponiana flore subsimplici). A lovely copy. Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759-1840) -- the "Raphael of flowers" -- found such success with the publication of Les roses (1817-1824) in folio, that he moved to publish a smaller octavo version with C. L. F. Panckoucke immediately following. It was published in forty parts of four plates, and Redouté is said to have overseen the hand-color finishing of the plates. Each plate is accompanied by a description by Claude-Antoine Thory (1757-1827), an eminent botanist and collector of roses. Les roses is Redouté's second work and is considered his finest. The owner of this binding was clearly passionate about roses, both because the plates are organized by species rather than livraison-order, and because the binding is lush with rose motifs. The color of the binding is no doubt an homage to red roses, as are the second and second-to-last end papers as they are dyed pink (rose in French).

3 volumes, octavo. (9 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches). Half-titles. 2 lithographic portraits of Redouté and Thory by C.Motte after Mauraisse, hand-coloured engraved floral wreath by Manceau after Redouté, 183 stipple-engraved plates printed in colours and finished by hand by Chardin, Langlois, Lemaire and others after Redouté (including 3 plates illustrating the anatomy of the rose). Contemporary French blue half morocco gilt, the flat spine in five compartments delineated by horizontal rules, titled in the second, numbered in the fourth, green silk page-markers, marbled endpapers. A very fine set of Redouté's best known work. The "most complete edition" (Madol) to be published during his lifetime, this is a re-issue of the second octavo edition, with the addition of St. Petersburg to the imprint, and containing the 23 additional plates, the portraits and the frontispiece floral wreath, the biographical note on Thory and additional text. Pierre-Joseph Redouté, the most successful flower painter of all time, together with Claude-Antoine Thory, an ardent botanist and collector of roses, have together in Les Roses produced a work not only of great artistic merit, but also an invaluable scientific record. "Redouté and Thory knew, described and figured almost all the important roses known in their day. Included were many of the key ancestors of our present-day roses. The plates in Les Roses have artistic value, botanical and documentary value, both for the species and cultivars still surviving and for those that have disappeared" (Gisele de la Roche). The roses used as specimens for the work were taken from the collections of Thory, the Malmaison gardens, and from other collections around Paris. Many of the flowers were novelties in Redouté's time, and a number were dedicated to the memory of his friends and acquaintances, such as l'Héritier de Brutelle and Ventenat. The success of the folio edition prompted the issue of a second (first octavo) edition in 40 parts between 1824 and 1826 with 160 plates and an expanded text. New information and new varieties led to the issue of a third edition (second octavo) edition, published in 30 parts between 1828 and 1829. The popularity of the first issue of this edition warranted the publication of the present second issue (with reset and reprinted title pages). In both issues the text was expanded yet again to contain not only more information about the culture of the rose but also by the addition of a biography of Thory by D.Beaumont, the inclusion of Thory's Traité du Rosier and the descriptive text to the 23 additional plates. In addition a floral wreath plate was added as a frontispiece to volume I and the portraits of Redouté and Thory were included for the first time. The plates are masterpieces in miniature of the engraver's art and lose none of the impact of their larger precursors in the process of reducing them from the folio to octavo format. Redouté as presiding genius is plainly discernable. Dunthorne 233; Lawalrée 39; Madol 42; Macphail Redoutéana 22; cf. Nissen BBI 1599; Stafleu & Cowan TL2 8751; Stock Rose Books 2371.

Provenance: Foljambe Collection removed from Osberton Hall, their sale Christies April 30 2008, lot 41. First edition of 'JOSEPHINE'S ROSES'. 'The technical execution of its production was. near perfect. The artistic quality of the plates is high, and there is no reason to mark it any lower than one would Les Liliacées and the Jardin de la Malmaison' (Hunt Redoutéana p.26). "Les Roses" was issued in four formats: a large-paper folio with colored plates; a "special issue" of each work with the extra suite of black impressions on ochre paper was apparently bound in very small quantities (Hunt, "Printmaking"); folio with colored plates; and folio with the plates in two states. Commemorating the rose garden of the Empress Josephine, many of the roses having been painted in her garden at Malmaison. The subtle gradations of tone found in Redouté's original watercolors are shown to perfection by the technique of the stipple engraving used to produce these exquisite plates. Redoute met the renowned and talented engraver Francesco Bartolozzi, on a trip to London and learned that the most successful impressions of stipple engravings came from well-used plates. A number of initial black plates were struck to take the edge off the plate before printing in colors began. Redouté's printers struck black impressions-always on paper with a distinct ochre tint-from the plates for both "Les Roses" and "Les Liliacées". The botanical descriptions were by Claude Antoine Thory (1759-1827). Lawalrée describes the text as being 'of outstanding importance to both botanists and horticulturalists'. Thory was an ardent botanist with his own collection of roses, who came to live at an estate neighbouring Redouté's soon after 1814. The roses they used as specimens for the work were taken from the collections of Thory, the Malmaison gardens, and from other collections around Paris. Many of the flowers were novelties in Redouté's day, and a number were dedicated to his friends and acquaintances, such as L'Héritier de Brutelle and Ventenat. He and Redouté regularly traded cuttings and seeds. "Redouté and Thory knew, described, and figured almost all the important roses in their day. Included were many of the key ancestors of our present-day roses. The plates in "Les Roses" have artistic value, and botanical and documentary value, both for the species and cultivars still surviving and for those that have disappeared" [Sir George Taylor quoting Gisèle de la Roche in the Schutter facsimile, (Antwerp, 1974-78)].
