Paxton,
Joseph - Paxton's Magazine of Botany and Register of Flowering Plants
(Vols. I - V)
PAXTON,
Joseph (1803-1865). Paxton's Magazine of Botany, and register of flowering
plants. London: Bradbury & Evans for Orr & Smith (vols.I-II) or
W.S.Orr & Co. (vols.III-V), 1834-1838.
5
volumes (of 16, vols. 1-5), (7"
- 9.5").
223 hand-colored engraved or lithographed flower plates by F.W. Smith or S.
Holden, some folding, (Plate Index is shown at the bottom of this page). There
are also numerous wood-engraved illustrations. Contemporary green cloth, spine
gilt lettered. Bacon Free Library (bookplate).
Pages in good crisp condition with no creasing to corners and free of tears and
splits. Very little minor foxing to a few plates. The
work is noted for the large number of exotic plants depicted, including many
orchids, and for the richness and vibrancy of the hand-coloring.
The
correct number of plates is not known with certainty, Stafleu and Cowan quote
the New York Botanical Society copy (with 723 plates) but say that they
"are not sure that 723 is the exact number of plates issued." Nissen
calls for 768 plates. Nissen BBI 2351; Stafleu & Cowan 7554.
