Sobre este artículo
Very good copy of the fifth volume of Andrews' magnus opus, with 72 stunning botanical plates.
Title page and frontispiece undated, but many plates dated 1803.
Complete with 72 copperplates drawn, engraved, published and hand-coloured by Henry Andrews himself, printed in black or green ink and heightened with gum arabic.
Volume 5 only in a series of 10 volumes with 664 plates published from 1797 to 1814 as the first serious rival to William Curtis' Botanical Magazine.
Andrews stated that it was his intent to introduce new and rare plants "as have not hitherto appeared in any similar publication." This volume has herbs and shrubs from the Cape of Good Hope, the Malabar coast (India), New Holland (Australia), the West Indies and many other exotic locations.
The distinctive plates are dynamic and elegant, with brilliant and vibrant hand-colour by Andrews himself. Printed in green ink, many look like water-colour paintings rather than engravings. The image fills the page, with some trimmed right up to the plate mark.
With botanical descriptions in Latin and English after the Linnean System.
Armorial bookplate of slave-owning politician Henry, 2nd Earl of Harewood, on front endpaper.
Henry Andrews lived and worked at No. 5 Knightsbridge, London, and married the daughter of John Kennedy, owner of the Hammersmith nursery of Kennedy and Lee. He self-published many botanical works including Coloured Engravings of Heaths in 1802, Roses and Geraniums in 1805.
Full tree leather binding with rebacked spine, five raised bands, black leather title labels, gilt lettering, boards scuffed and worn, marble endpapers, a.e.g, spotting confined mostly to the text pages, plates mostly clean and vivid with stunning hand-colour, a couple with offsetting and oxidization.
