Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First US edition, first impression with full number line. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, spine slightly sunned, slight lean. Not price clipped ($29.95), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ c…opy. 300pp, illustrated. For over a century, and across five generations, the Veitch family pioneered the introduction of hundreds of new plants into gardens, conservatories and houses and were amongst the foremost European cultivators and hybridisers of their day. The story begins in 1768 when a Scotsman called John Veitch came to England to find his fortune, starting out as a gardener for the aristocracy. Realising that horticultural mania had begun to spread throughout the social classes, John's son, James, opened a nursery in Exeter and began to send some of the first commercial plant collectors into the Americas, Australia, India, Japan, China and the South Seas. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the Veitch's had become key figures within the gardening establishment, involved with the Royal Horticultural Society from its beginnings and the great Chelsea Flower Show. Combining an historian's eye for detail with a flair for storytelling, Shephard charts the fortunes of one family and through them tells the fascinating story of the modern English garden.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition, limited to 75 copies (this being number 66) bound in buckram and marble paper. Hardback in dustwrapper, also with acetate wrap with the Littlehampton crest in red. Top edge gilt. 22.5 × 15.5cm, 92pp. This copy signed to the limitation page…by Osbert Lancaster and 'the Earl of Littlehampton'. The Littlehampton Bequest is Osbert Lancaster's witty and satirical work which is both a history of the fictional Littlehampton family, and an exercise in art pastiche. Although fictional, this book is framed as an official catalogue for a collection of family portraits bequeathed to the National Portrait Gallery by the 8th Earl of Littlehampton (in lieu of death duties). The gallery was unable to find the space to hang them so Lancaster was "commissioned" to produce this book. Along the way, Lancaster wittily captures the Littlehamptons as he imagines they would have been painted or drawn by Holbein, Van Dyck, Gainsborough, John Singer Sargent, and David Hockney etc, each portrait accompanied by a biographical sketch. Condition: This copy is in good sharp condition with a very little edgewear to the wrapper (which has been neatly price-clipped), and with some spotted foxing to the page edges and limitation page. Previous owner's bookplate to half-title. Otherwise, it remains in strong readable condition. Signed by Author(s).
