Condizione: Good. 8vo. 3 vols. 12 x 20 cm. Contemporary calf. Leather peeled from corner and edge of one volume but solid. 176 plates.Duhamel was a passionate advocate of fruit ("Je n'ai garde cependant de conseiller tout le monde indistinctement de manger de toutes sortes de fruits"), he dismisses contemporary opinion that fruit could adversely affect health, and presents the work as a practical manual intended to aid the spread of both the cultivation and consumption of fruit. His earlier interest in pears is demonstrated by the subjects of the plates: 58 of pears; 32 of peaches; 20 of plums; 16 of cherries; 14 of apples. Other fruits include almonds, apricots and strawberries.

Il réside tout d'abord à l'île de France et ensuite à l'île de La Réunion du 12 août au 5 décembre 1801 avant de retourner en France. En 1804, il publie la relation de son séjour sous le titre "Voyage dans les quatre principales îles des mer d'Afrique, Fait par ordre du gouvernement pendant les années neuf et dix de la République (1801-1802)" imprimé par F. Buisson à Paris en 1804. Les trois volumes de texte sont accompagnés d'un atlas de 58 planches. Quand Bory de Saint-Vincent débarque à l'île de France en mars 1801, il offre ses services au gouverneur, le général Magallon de la Morlière, qui l'envoie à La Réunion. Bory de Saint-Vincent passe quelques mois à visiter l'île et dessine les sites les plus pittoresques de l'île.Harvard: The Friedman Lab.Evolutionary History andPlant Development:Jean Baptiste Genevieve Marcellin Bory de Saint Vincent (Bory) was a vocal and important French supporter of materialist transformist thought in the early 19th century. In keeping with the biographical norm for many of the most influential 19th century naturalists, Bory served as the naturalist on board a naval expedition, later publishing a travel narrative, Voyage dans les quatre principals iles des mers d'Afrique (1804). Bory's astonishment at the high levels of animal and plant endemism in the Mascarene Islands led him to muse on the possibility of an evolutionary world, asking "How did greenery come to shade an isolated volcano?" .Much of what is known of Bory's evolutionary thought is revealed in his entries in the multivolume Dictionnaire classique des sciences naturelles, which he edited in the 1820s. Bory was a frequent contributor to the Dictionnaire, writing on such topics as "Creation," "Natural History," "Geography," "Man," "Orang," "Instinct," and "Intelligence." Of particular interest is the fact that Bory's Dictionnaire is known to have been on board the Beagle with Charles Darwin.Unlike other evolutionists such as Leopold von Buch (1825) and Charles Darwin who concluded that islands are colonized by long distant transport of species from neighboring mainlands, Bory explicitly rejected this possibility. Instead, he proposed a theory of multiple "modern creations" of life on isolated islands that involved instances of spontaneous generation from which more complex life forms then developed via Lamarckian transformism. Importantly, for Bory, the process of evolutionary innovation involved "individual aberrations" which become permanent and give rise to new species. Thus, variation is central to his evolutionary speculations. Bory also argued that evolutionary advances must take place within a strict order, or ecological succession, in which early-appearing "primitive species" prepare the ground for "newer" (more complex) species which rely on these pioneers for their own survival.Bory's transformist views did not go unnoticed. In an 1805 anonymous review of Voyage dans les quatre principals iles des mers d'Afrique published in the Edinburgh Review, the author describes Bory's theory of multiple spontaneous creations as "unphilosophical" and "by no means countenanced by fact." It is interesting to note that the subsequent 1805 English translation of Voyage (Voyage to, and travels through the four principle islands of the African seas) lacks many of the evolutionary bits of its original French . …

With 276 (1 extra) illustrated plates designed by Oudry (1685 - 1755), as well as half-titles, engraved title pages, head and tailpieces. Extra plate is the second version of the plate found by page 112 of Vol 3, for the Fable CLXXII, "Le Singe et le Leopard".)

Overall, a magnificent copy of one of the pinnacles of French illustrated book art. Oudry achieved his first success as a portraitist, and he was elected to the Royal Academy in 1719 as a historical painter. After he became the director of the Beauvais tapestry factory he began to amuse himself with subjects from La Fontaine's Fables. He made 276 sketches in all between 1729 and 1735. These visualizations of La Fontaine so harmonize with the verse form as to earn Oudry a reputation as the "La Fontaine of Painting". The plates contained in this book have had an incalculable influence on animal illustrators afterwards, and much of the art work has been directly reproduced or adapted in designs used in other areas of the decorative arts such as wallpaper design, fabric design, porcelain, etc. Oudry, Jean-Baptiste; 42 Engravers, Including Cochin, Tardieu, Prevost, Chedel, Lempereur, Etc.
