Andrews, Henry C.
Botanists' Repository for New and Rare Plants. Pl. 108 Geranium reniforme.
Fine original hand-colored copperplate engraving. Quarto (8 x 10 3/8 inches, 203.2 x 266 mm). An elegantly engraved and hand-colored original late 18th Century botanical print by Henry Charles Andrews. Larger in format than the rival publication of the time, Curtis' Botanical Magazine, London, 1787 on, the Botanists' Repository proved superior with new depictions of finely engraved plates which were produced entirely by the artist and author of the work, Andrews himself. As a footnote to the art of botanical illustration, it was extremely rare for the artist of a singular work to personally engrave, hand-color and document every single plate in a given publication. Although the Botanists' Repository was not Andrew's first botanical work, his noted monograph on heaths (Coloured Engravings of Heaths, London) began in 1794 and completed 1830, it was with this work that Andrews illustrated his mastery as a flower painter, engraver and colorist. In these heretofore undocumented botanic specimens, more aesthetic than scientific, the large format plate allows for finer botanical accuracy, without forsaking the beauty of the composition.

de Passe, Crispin The Younger.
Hortus Floridus : Pl. 9 Malva crispa
A rare original hand-colored copperplate engraving from the first oblong quarto edition of Hortus Floridus. (10.75 x 7.5 inches, plate mark 8.25 x 5 inches, matted in Ivory Rag to 18.5 x 16 inches). This first edition plate is printed on pressed rag stock with the Latin text on the verso. Crispin de Pass,The Younger (c. 1590-1664) produced 'Hortus Floridus' early in his illustrious career as an engraver of the flowers of the Tulipmania Period of the early 17th Century. Crispin was born into a long line of talented Dutch engravers and learned to master the skill of engraving with a challenging needle-like instrument called the burin. His technical virtuosity was enlivened by his youthful, whimsical spirit as evidenced in his compositions of flowers teeming with insects, birds and small animals as well as allegorical and mythologic themes. This charming work served to inspire a wide array of noted botanical artists, such as Sir John Hill, DeBry, Besler, Sweert and Parkinson well into the following century. (Blunt)Every print is digitally watermarked for web display purposes only. The actual print is unaltered, and sold in original condition. This print is presented in our elegant and traditional matting style; Ivory Rag mat with gold French line, suitable for framing. Historical text documentation accompanies every one of our prints.

This first edition plate is printed on pressed rag stock with the Latin text on the verso. Crispin de Pass,The Younger (c. 1590-1664) produced 'Hortus Floridus' early in his illustrious career as an engraver of the flowers of the Tulipmania Period of the early 17th Century. Crispin was born into a long line of talented Dutch engravers and learned to master the skill of engraving with a challenging needle-like instrument called the burin. His technical virtuosity was enlivened by his youthful, whimsical spirit as evidenced in his compositions of flowers teeming with insects, birds and small animals as well as allegorical and mythologic themes. This charming work served to inspire a wide array of noted botanical artists, such as Sir John Hill, DeBry, Besler, Sweert and Parkinson well into the following century. (Blunt)Every print is digitally watermarked for web display purposes only. The actual print is unaltered, and sold in original condition. This print is presented in our elegant and traditional matting style; Ivory Rag mat with gold French line, suitable for framing. Historical text documentation accompanies every one of our prints.

The Flowers of Shakespeare: Cowslip Burnet, Clover, Docks, Thistles, Recksies, & Burs from King Henry 5th.
An original finely hand-colored lithograph of the Flowers of Shakespeare. Folio (9 3/8 x 12 1/8 inches). Elegantly French-matted in Ivory rag board with gilt line decoration, sized to 16 x 19 inches, and suitable for framing. The finest of the mid-sized Victorian botanical prints, this plate features an elegant botanical bouquet and an identified Shakespearean quote, rendered in decorative calligraphy. The stylized lettering is enhanced by an illustrated single capital letter, as found in the Early Illuminated Manuscript tradition. As a hallmark of Victorian sentiment, Miss Jane Elizabeth Giraud, (1810 - 1868) artist and lithographer, dedicated this fine botanical work to her brother, a Doctor in stationed in the British Colony of Bombay, as token of the homeland. The plates were printed and hand-colored by Day and Haghe, Lithographers to the Queen.

Ms. Giraud's Flowers of Shakespeare exemplify the perfect union of art and literature, as found in the natural world and as quoted on the title page: "And this our life exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything".

The Flowers of Milton : Pl. 9 Euphrasy, Rue (Paradise Lost. Book 11th. Line 411)
A fine and rare original hand-colored lithograph by Miss Jane Elizabeth Giraud. Near Fine condition with very minor age soiling to edges of plate, not compromising the image. Large Quarto (9.25 x 12.25 inches). In the tradition of the "Language of Flowers", as introduced in Miss Giraud's Flowers of Shakespeare (Large Quarto, London c. 1845), these large and showy bouquets of flowers, leaves and vines float above an embellished calligraphic Milton quote. The first letter of each quoted passage is capitalized and adorned in an Illuminated Manuscript style, a detail which has come to be appreciated as a hallmark of Victorian decorative book illustration and design. Miss Giraud's delicate handling of the marriage between botanical art and literature was instrumental in establishing an entire culture of Poetry and Prose gift books. Printed by Day and Haghe, Lithographers to the Queen, this work is dutifully dedicated to Her Most Gracious Majesty, The Queen (Victoria), by Her Majesty's most devoted Servant, Jane Elizabeth Giraud. Faversham 20th June, 1846.
