Abbildung der deutschen Holzarten für Forstmänner und Liebhaber der Botanik, herausgegeben von Friedrich Guimpel ...Berlin, in der Schüppelschen Buchhandlung, 1815-1820. 2 volumes, the first in 2 parts. 4to. With 216 beautifully hand-coloured engraved plates. Contemporary gold-tooled brown half calf.

[4],147; [2],149-302 [=154] pp. + 216 plates in volume 2.First edition of a standard work about German woody plants, richly illustrated with over 200 handcoloured plates of trees and shrubs. The beautiful plates are all signed by Friedrich Guimpel (1774-1839), a German engraver who collaborated with several renowned botanists. The work describes all the trees and shrubs that could be found in Germany. Together with the plates, which show them in great detail, it must have been easy to identify them outside.The work was written by Carl Ludwig Willdenow (1765-1812), one of the most important botanists from Germany. After his death, botanist Friedrich Gottlob Hayne (1763-1832) revised and completed the text. It was published in 36 fascicules between 1810 and 1820. These were combined into two volumes, in 1815 and 1820, and published together to form the present work. It is considerd to be one of Willdenow's most beautiful publications.The bindings of both volumes show signs of wear, the labels on the spine are partly torn, with some loss of material, the marbled paper on the front board of both volumes has discoloured. The leaves in the text volumes are slightly browned and foxed, some of the plates in the plate volume have browned, most plates are foxed around the edges. Overall in good condition.l Nissen, BBI 2154; Pritzel, 3651; Sitwell, Great flower books, p. 152; Stafleu & Cowan, 2214.
