LOUDON, Jane Wells (1807-1858) The Ladies' Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials. 1849 (second edition).
A very rare second edition in the original publisher’s green leather binding with tooled gilt decorations Five gilt-stamped raised bands (9 3/4" x 12") all pages are tight and clean with all tissue guards in place.
341 gilt edged pages complete with 90 fine hand - colored lithographed plates (9 " x 11 ½") in pristine condition, free of stains, blemishes and foxing. Including depictions of more than 450 perennials.
'Loudon developed a simple formula for these works, combining a brief text with charming illustrations, an arrangement that appealed to her audience. For each plant a brief botanical description was provided, including its common name in English, its order and genus. Some historical notes, and instructions regarding its cultivation' (An Oak Spring Flora p.326). Jane Loudon first began her series of popular botanical works in 1838 with the intention of alleviating the debt incurred by her husband, the renowned botanist, gardener, and horticultural writer John Loudon, whom she met after the publication of her best-selling novel The Mummy, Tales for the Twenty Second Century. Having had no prior training in botany, she first learned about horticulture after her marriage, when she assisted her husband with his Encyclopedia of Gardening (1834). Taking a less traditional and more generally accessible approach to the subject, Loudon published her first gardening book, Instructions in Gardening for Ladies, in 1838. She followed this up with a series of five linked titles that could also be viewed as separate works. The first work in the series was published in 1840 and was an immediate success, others followed in 1841, the present work in 1844 (second edition 1849) and the series was completed by two further works in 1846 and 1848.
