Contemporary marbled calf leatehr, gilt lettering and ornaments. 8o: 3 vols., pag.: (vol. 1) [1] xxxix 249; (vol. 2) vi 326; (vol. 3) ii 335. With 16 folding plates after the original plates by J. van der Spyk, F. van Bleyswyck, J. Wandelaar and J.C. Philips. Fine set of this rare French translation by De Groot of this highly important horticultural treatise by the Dutch cloth merchant, art patron, and 'first garden theorist of the Netherlands' Pieter de la Court (1664-1739), His estate ‘Meerburg’ was situated near Leiden. The first Dutch edition of the book was published in 1737. It contains details of the laying out and planting of small Dutch pleasure gardens, stressing the importance of water, proportional harmony and careful consideration for site. De la Court emphasizes natural features above artful device, and the blending of the garden into the landscape, with the occasional consciously placed 'romantic element'. J.C. Loudon writes in his 'Encyclopaedia of Gardening' (1827) that the work is 'little known [...] among the best that have been produced'. The work contains information on the development of glasshouses and heating methods. The large engravings depict glasshouses, 5 fine plates of citrus fruit, and 2 further plates of citrus fruit and the magnificent pineapple and tuberose.B0136.

Amsterdam, Jan Hendricksz. ende Jan Rieuwertsz., 1657, 8vo., 568 pp., conservational binding (Zaansch Bord, handmade paper) with the sewn on cords visible, the book has been skillfully restored and resewn and the missing pages/signatures have been added to complete the content (modern reproductions, made to blend in with the original parts of the book, the last signature with the index is not present, since no good reproductions were available, it concerns pages 311-314, 449-544 and 561-568). The original binding was a half leather binding with decorative paper. This binding is added in a seperatie folder, but could not be reused after restoring the book block. The book comes with a restoration report (in Dutch). The book is in good condition being skillfully restored with a solid binding. Some stains remain and the paper is somewhat ruffled along the edges keeping the feel of an old book alive. The conservational binding can easily be removed to have the book bound to your own taste. It comes with a custom made folder. The book is divided in 5 parts: humans, animals on 4 legs and crawling animals, birds, small animals and insects (vermin), fish and other water animals. Apart from the engraved titlepage depicting Adam and Eve in paradise, there are 38 more original engravings present and 14 reproductions, most are illustrations of animals we know today (e.g. elephant, lion, rhino, cameleon, lizzard, armadillo, turtle, eagle, ibis, turkey, seal), but there are also creatures we've referred to the realm of fantasy: dragon, satyr, feniks and mermaid. There is a woodcut printer's mark (myn glas loopt ras) on the titepage.

Wintershoven, J.B.

Handboek voor liefhebbers van vreemde plantzoenen en tuiniers of aanleiding tot de kennisse van alle in - en uitlandsche boomen en heesters, welke bij ons in de opene lucht kunnen gekweekt worden.

Utrecht, G.T. van Paddenburg, 1795, 8vo., sewn book block without binding, 8 + 580 pp. The front and back cover are lost. It seems to have been a plain paper binding. Remnants of the covering paper are visible on the spine. The top right corner of the first 14 pages has been gnawed on. On the titlepage this results in the loss of some letters of the first word, on the other pages there is no loss of text. The sewing of the book block is mostly intact. Uncut pages. This book was meant to have been bound to the taste of the buyer, but that never happened. The book has been used lovingly, as is made clear by the corrections, interesting notes in the margins, dried leaves and manuscipts (including two garden designs) inserted between pages 242-243, 498-499, and 516-517. The book lists trees and shrubs (heesters) in alphabetical order, stating their names in Latin, English, French, German and Dutch. Further information about the trees or shrubs is offered in Dutch. Based on the work by Rössig. Rare book that offers a wealth of information for garden lovers.
