Sowerby II plates. DESCRIPTION: Illustrated boards. Illustrated with twelve plates. Collated Language: English Book Condition: Fair.… Heavy wear to corners, edges and spine. Paper covering of spine split along all spine edges and starting to lift. Rubbed board. Internally very good. Remains tightly bound with clean intact endpapers and strong hinges. Clean unmarked pages. Previous owners name to fly page dated 1883. DJ Condition: No DJ. AUTHOR: The Reverend John George Wood (1827-1889) preeminent populariser of natural history in the Victorian era, who famously abandoned his formal curacy to dedicate his life to 'making science intelligible to the common mind'. George Brettingham Sowerby II (1812-1884) preeminent figure within the most influential dynasty of natural history illustrators in British history, a family of scientist-artists who for over a century defined the visual standards of biological discovery. As the son of George Brettingham Sowerby I and grandson of the great James Sowerby, the founder of the lineage and author of the monumental English Botany, he inherited a legacy of 'unrivalled taxonomic precision' and artistic mastery. A Fellow of the Linnean Society, Sowerby II was far more than a mere draftsman; he was a sophisticated malacologist who played a central role in the family's collaborative magnum opus, the Thesaurus Conchyliorum, an exhaustive five-volume record of molluscs that required forty-five years to complete. In his work for the 1865 first edition of J. G. Wood's The Common Shells of the Sea-Shore, Sowerby II applied this elite family pedigree to the popular market, providing exquisitely rendered plates that transformed a simple field guide into a scientifically rigorous artifact. His ability to distill complex taxonomic features into clear, beautiful engravings ensured that the Sowerby name remained synonymous with the Victorian natural history movement. SOWERBY, George Brittingham (illustratore).

Condizione: Very Good. THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE ILLUSTRATED FLORA OF GREAT BRITAIN SMITH, Sir James Edward; James SOWERBY [Illus.] English Botany: or, coloured Figures of British Plants, with the essential characters, synonyms, and places of growth. London: Printed by Richard Taylor for the Proprietor, C. E. Sowerby, [1832]-1846 8…vos., 12 volumes; rebound by S. Clutton in February 1935 (with her name in black ink to the ffeps) in half black morocco over marbled paper-covered boards [rebacked, and with new endpapers/paste downs], single ruled in gilt along edges and spine, the latter additionally titled in second compartment and with volume number to fourth; fully collated, each volume with title page, text and index followed by a grand total of a whopping 2744 individually hand coloured copper-plate engravings of British flowers, ferns, fruit trees, grasses, mosses, orchids, and a multitude of all other British plants, printed both horizontally and vertically, several folding; some plates showing cross sections of stem and/or floral parts, as well as berries and fruiting bodies (full collation and condition report available upon request); a little scattered foxing throughout, occasionally affecting plates, mostly confined to the earlier volumes, which become increasingly cleaner as the set progresses; some minor marking and scratches, printed on different paper stocks, affecting quality of print and colouring, occasional short closed or finger tears, not affecting images, and occasional offsetting from plates; some of the hand colouring to Vol XII a little crude, but very good to near-fine copies all, contained in four matching slipcases comprised of three volumes per slipcase. Provenance: directly from the Clutton family. Second edition , 'arranged according to the Linnaean method, with the descriptions shortened, and occasional remarks added'. The second edition became known as the 'small edition', and here contains all of the additional supplementary plates as called for, as well as one or two duplicates. A previous owner has taken the liberty of adding notes on the work of the colourist, and there are also a number of contemporary handwritten notes of Latin names now bound in, as well as several pressed samples (see full collation). A stunning compendium of British plants, which range from the humblest grass to the majestic orchid, each treated with delicacy, intricacy and care. All of the familiar daffodils, snowdrops, poppies, and other hedgerow flowers are of course included, as well as the more obscure flora which cover the UK, and several volumes are devoted to the study of the differing mosses, lichens and algae, together with details of the fruiting and seeding bodies and root systems, which are cross-sectioned in many of the plates in minute detail. Vol VII contains a comprehensive guide to British Orchids. The idea to publish an extensive guide to British plants was first formulated by James Sowerby in 1790. Sowerby (1757-1822) studied at the Royal Academy and decided to specialise in botanical paintings relatively early, his first major commission being as a contributor to William Curtis' Flora Londinensis , which took as its subject the plants found in the vicinity of London during the 18th century. Expanding outwards, Sowerby began in earnest, and paired with the English botanist James Edward Smith, who had just two years prior founded the Linnean society. Sowerby illustrated, edited, and published the work, while Smith was responsible for the equally important task of providing the technical descriptions. Although initially reluctant to associate his name with the work due to Sowerby's 'low social status', Smith later insisted on being credited as the author, and indeed his name appears here ahead of Sowerby's, and in larger letters. 'English Botany' proved an overwhelming success, and became famous as the most comprehensive illustrated flora of Great Britain. Many of the included plants received their debut in print, including a numb.
