From a contemporary review by Amy Meyers in the Huntington Library Quarterly: "Like many of the publications Raphael describes, her own volumes are exquisitely designed and printed. The reproductions of prints from illustrated books are superb, replicating the colors of the originals as closely as possible, and a number of bindings are reproduced so beautifully that the books almost appear to be resting on the page. Such palpable images of omate bindings and lavish illustrations reinforce for Raphael's readers the great importance given to horticultural treatises by the European aristocrats and Americans of wealth and standing who used them in the creation of their gardens."

The Pomona describes a hundred books and manuscripts about fruit, with illustrations taken from some of the most beautiful books on the subject, as well as original drawings or paintings. The earliest book described is Bussato's Giardino di Agricoltura of 1592, the latest The Herefordsl Pomona, an encyclopaedia of apples and pears from the 1870s. In between there is a gathering of fruit books large and small: La Quintinie's Instruction pour les jardins fritiers, first published in I690 and translated by john Evelyn three years later, Duhamel's Trait des Arbres?/nitiers, and nearly fifty others from France and Britain, among them Brookshaw's giant Pomona Britannica and a handful of pocket sized books of directions for grafting and cultivating the best varieties available. Sections on fruit-growing in these two countries are followed by others on fruit elsewhere in Europe (including the books of Knoop, Gallesio, and Bivort) and fruit in America (with Downing, Hovey, and several sets of nurserymen's plates) before chapters on citrus fruit (beginning with Ferrari's Hesperides of 1646), apples and pears, peaches and soft fruit, grapes, melons, and tropical fruit. Each description makes clear the background of the book concerned and its relationship to others, while a generous number of illustrations in colour and black and white help to give an impression of their contents. Many of the Oak Spring copies have particularly interesting associations, recorded in inscriptions, bookplates, or binding details, all of which are described. . Although there is a brief bibliographical summary of each book, the background essays give the Oak Spring catalogues a historical setting that should apeal to garden historians and gardeners as well as book collectors and librarians. . Printed at the Meriden Stinehour Press, the appearance of the books is intened to regflect the nature an quality of the contents of the Oak Spring Garden Library. (Jacket).

"An Oak Spring Sylva" is the first of a series of discursive catalogues describing selections of the rare books and other material in the Oak Spring Garden Library, a collection formed by Mrs. Paul Mellon. Each volume in the Oak Spring series will be a lovely and useful compendium for book collectors, librarians, and garden historians. "An Oak Spring Sylva" focuses on a unique selection of forty-six books, manuscripts and drawings devoted to trees and shrubs. With vivid illustrations and rich descriptions, it covers a vast range of works -- from a tiny 1555 book on oaks to early 19th-century advice on large-scale tree-planting. Among these are world-renowned books like Evelyn's Sylva, Duhamel's Traite des Arbres, and Michaux's North American Sylva, as well as rather unknown treasures, such as Marshall's American Grove, which helped introduce the riches of American forests to European gardens in the eighteenth century.
