[Horticultural Society]

[Three fine, botanical prints from the famous Transactions of the Horticultural Society].

London, The Horticultural Society, 1824-1830. Three framed prints. Uniform rectangular copper-green and gilt frames (53.0 x 43.0 cm). = The Transactions of the Horticultural Society is widely regarded as the most important British botanical journal of its days and a showcase for the talents of some of the greatest botanical artists. These three fine prints are fine examples of the outstanding quality of the coloured plates. They were originally published in volume V, plate 9 (pods and seeds); volume V, plate 11 (Solanum tuberosum [wild potato]); and in volume VII, plate 3 (Duchesse d'Angoulême Pear). Finely drawn by Mrs Withers and engraved by W. Clark, they are much sought-after. Displayed in elegant, uniform frames. An attractive set. Blunt and Stearn, 1990: The Art of Botanical Illustration, p. 233; Nissen BBI, 2387.

[Linnean Society of London]

The Transactions of the Linnean Society of London. Second series. Botany. Volume I - VI.

London, The Linnean Society of London, 1875-1905. Six volumes in six. Large 4to (29.1 x 23.3 cm). Text; numerous plates. Volume I in contemporary polished half calf over marbled boards. Gilt ornamental lines and black morocco label with gilt title on the spine; Volumes II-VI: uniform later (i.e., contemporary with the last volume) blue buckram with gilt title on the spines. Speckled edges. = One of the most important periodicals in the field of botany, with numerous fine monographs, and certainly one of the best-illustrated, too. Before 1875, the Transactions contained both zoological and botanical papers. Therefore, this is the start of the Botanical Series, not a second botanical series. Definitely rare. The first volume with the label, "Presented to the Linnean Society of London by Messrs Taylor and Francis" (i.e., the printers, not the publishers, here). Boards to Volume I rubbed; the other five with a label removed from the spine top, and another one from the front pastedowns, with only a vague "cancelled" stamp remaining in each. Otherwise excellent, clean and unmarked. A very good set. Cat. BM(NH), p. 1151.
