Paperback. Condition: Fine. 1st. 136 pages, colour illustrations; 23 cm. Catalogue published in conjunction with the exhibition organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Nagoya/Boston Museum of Fine Arts and held at the Nagoya/Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Nagoya, Japan, December 12, 2009 tro April 4, 2010. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Introductory essays by Shunkichi Baba, Director, Nagoya/Boston Museum of Fine Arts and Malcolm Rogers, Ann and Graham Gund Director, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. *** "Originally developed as an aid to professional herbalists, botanical illustration eventually blossomed into an art in its own right. The first flower books were medicinal guides, or else illustrated volumes documenting the gardens of the well-to-do. When Carl Linnaeus classified the plant kingdom in 1735, the botanical book took on a more scientific cast. By the nineteenth century, the flourishing of botanical publications reflected both the rise of gardening as an amateur hobby and the desire of artists and decorators for new visual resources. Gardens in Perpetual Bloom traces the appreciation of flowers and their depiction, from the studious world o f monks and princes to the era of the gardening enthusiast. The book's ninety three prints and drawings - including masterful engravings after Georg Dionysus Ehret, the eighteenth century's most accomplished botanical artist; and exquisite color-printed stipple engravings after Pierre-Joseph Redoute, the premier draftsman of flowers for Marie Antoinette and Josephine Bonaparte - are remarkable for their technical virtuosity, subtle tonalities, scientific accuracy, and infinite variety." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Director's forewords; Gardens in perpetual bloom: botanical issustration in Europe and America, 1600-1850; Acknowledgments; Catalogue; Checklist of works; Suggested readings.

Hardback. Condition: New. Hippolyte Bayard (1801-1887) is often characterized as an underdog in the early history of photography. From the outset, his contribution to the invention of the medium was eclipsed by others such as Louis-Jacques-Mande Daguerre (1787-1851) and William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1877). However, Bayard had an undeniable role in the birth of photography and its subsequent evolution into a form of art. He was a pioneer in artistic style, innovator in terms of practice, and teacher of the next generation of photographers.Alongside an exploration of Bayard's decades-long career and lasting impact, this volume presents-for the first time in print-some of the earliest photographs in existence. An album containing nearly 200 images, 145 of those by or attributed to Bayard, is among the Getty Museum's rarest and most treasured photographic holdings. Few prints have ever been seen in person due to the extreme light sensitivity of Bayard's experimental processes, making this an essential reference for scholars and enthusiasts of the very beginnings of photography."At last we have a comprehensive book in the English language about one of the most interesting of photography's pioneers. Incessantly experimental and an omnivorous picture maker, Hippolyte Bayard is a photographer who has stood the test of time: as this copiously illustrated book demonstrates, his work is as fascinating today as it was in the nineteenth century."-Geoffrey Batchen, Professor of the History of Art, University of Oxford"This marvelous volume, the first of its kind in English, combines comprehensive archival research on the elusive Bayard with penetrating short essays on individual photographs. With its meticulously researched chapters by Bayard experts and gorgeous illustrations that canstand in for those of the photographs that are now too fragile to exhibit, this book is a windfall to historians of photography. It is not an exaggeration to say the field has been waiting years for a publication like this. In addition to its scholarly contribution, this book will be a revelation to any lover of photography." -Laurie Dahlberg, Associate Professor, Program in Art History and Photography, Bard College"Illuminating Bayard through his social connections, self-contradictions, and critical fortune, this essential volume brings to light a key figure in the invention of photography too long relegated to the shadows. Most significantly, Bayard is revealed through his lifework of photographs, most from the Getty album and many published here for the first time."-Stephen C. Pinson, Curator of Photographs, The Metropolitan Museum of Art.…
