Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Edinburgh and London: W. Blackwood & Son, [1863]-1884. First Edition, 3 volumes,Folio (555 x 417 mm), pp. (6), errata leaf, 110; (2), 111-216; (2), 217-330, Contemporary Red Half Morocco, with 48 hand-coloured lithographed plates, 4 mounted albumen prints, 1 engraved map, occasional…light foxing of text, plates in fine condition, a very handsome copy. FIRST EDITION of one of the greatest British works on Pines. The Pinetum Britannicum is regarded as a landmark publication on conifers, and both Napoleon III and Queen Victoria subscribed to its first edition. This wonderful, illustrated work was the result of over twenty years of collaboration and research. The tree portraits in colour are predominantly from the original drawings of William Richardson, those of cones and leaves by Dr Greville and James and Robert Black, and the characteristic sketches of the Deodar Cedars in vol. 3 were captured 'in the field' by Lady Canning during her time in India. The extensive woodcut illustrations throughout the text were also executed by multiple hands; Andrew Murray, James M'Nab, Dr Greville and Dr Maxwell T Masters. Meanwhile, leading conifer specialists of the day, from institutions such as the British Museum, Royal Horticultural Society and Royal Botanical Gardens, as well as individual professors from Florence, Berlin and Paris, and several private experts, all contributed to enhance the publication. On its commencement in 1863, the project received immediate royal support; Queen Victoria requested the work be dedicated to the memory of the recently deceased Prince Albert and provided photographs of two specimens at Osborne House for inclusion, while Emperor Napoleon III secured thirty copies for distribution among French schools of Forestry and Agriculture. Considered one of the great British works on coniferae, the Pinetum Britannicum is ONE OF THE GREATEST CONIFEROUS ICONOGRAPHIES OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY. Nissen BBI 1588; Great Flower Books p. 71; Stafleu-Cowan TL2 8685.

Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. 1st Edition. 3 volumes. Folio (21 4/8 x 18 2/8 inches). 48 EXCEPTIONALLY FINE lithographs with original hand-colour, heightened with gum arabic, after Richard Williamson James Black, R.K. Greville, and J. Wallace, engraved by A. Murray, Robert Black, Fr. Schenk, J. M'Nab and M.T. Masters, 4 mounted albumen photographs… by F. Mason, one lithographic plate of maps, and numerous wood-engraved illustrations in the text (plates of the Sequoia Wellingtonia and Sequoia Sempervirens bound upside down, one or two plates a bit toned). Contemporary full gilt-panelled black calf, each cover broad borders of gilt roll-tools and filets, lettered in the centre of each front cover, all edges gilt (elegantly rebacked to style). Provenance: with the bookseller's ticket of Shaw & Sons, Fetter Lane, London, on the rear paste-down of each volume; with the engraved armorial bookplate of Gerald Walter Erskine Loder,1st Baron Wakehurst, LLB JP DL (1861 1936), British barrister, businessman and Conservative politician, best remembered for developing the gardens at Wakehurst Place, Sussex, on the front paste-down of each volume; with the modern ownership inscription of Mr. H. Steuart Fothringham of Grantully Castle, on the recto of the first blank of Volume II. First edition of one of the great British works on pines, Edward James Ravenscroft's "Pinetum Brittanicum," lavishly illustrated with colorful and refined depictions of many varieties of pine trees from both sides of the Atlantic. Many illustrations portray the trees in parks or other natural settings with human figures included in the compositions, belying Ravenscroft's ostensibly scientific goal in producing the work. Despite the great artistry and esthetic appeal of the images, however, the "Pinetum Brittanicum" is a testament to the great 19th-century fascination with natural history, as well as the impulse to classify and catalogue--two interests that went hand in hand and intensified dramatically over the course of the 1800s. Ravenscroft was one of the great talents to emerge in this period in the field of natural history illustration, combining aspects of beauty and science--normally considered antithetical--with apparently effortless grace. John Lindley contributed botanical descriptions for the first three parts, and Andrew Murray and Maxwell T. Masters wrote the remainder. Production began with substantial support by Peter Lawson & Son, who subscribed for 100 copies, and by French Emperor Napoleon III, who requested 30. Due to historical and financial upheavals, work on the "Pinetum" was suspended, but resumed again and it was issued complete in 1884. The end result clearly justified the decades-long production, for the scope and quality of Ravenscoft's splendid work on pines remains unmatched. [Nissen BBI 1588; Great Flower Books, p.127; Stafleu and Cowan 8685].
