Red and quarter black morocco binding with ruled spine, gilt titles, and marbled endpapers Provenance: Massachusetts Horticultural Society, Stickney Fund (bookplate, dated 1877) A spectacular large-scale work illustrating some of the most beautiful orchids known, selected by perhaps the greatest early Orchidologist, drawn by Sarah Anne Drake, and lithographed by Maxine Gauci. John Lindley is now known as a botanist of wide accomplishments, the study of orchids had been an area of special interest to him from early in his career when employed by the orchid specialist William Cattley. The present monograph is dedicated to another of Lindley's patrons, the Duke of Devonshire, and Lindley includes Joseph Paxton's notes on the growing of orchids at Chatsworth. This work is one of very few large-scale works dedicated to orchids: a format which allows the beauty of this extraordinary family of flowers to be fully explored. The plates in the present work were lithographed by Maxime Gauci ('an outstanding lithographer' [Blunt]) from the drawings of Sarah Anne Drake (1803-1857). Miss Drake is to Lindley what W.H. Fitch was to the Hookers. Born in Norfolk, she appears to have been a lifelong friend of the Lindleys and from about 1830 until 1847 lived in their house in Turnham Green. Under the supervision of John Lindley, she developed into an outstanding botanical artist who worked on many of Lindley's publications, but was particularly renowned for her portrayal of orchids. The images in the present work represent what is undoubtedly her greatest work. According to Lindley, 46 of the 49 plates are of species that had never before been illustrated. The geographical range of the plants shown is enormous, with examples from Nepal, Burma, India, Sri Lanka, the East Indies, Java, China, the Philippines, Mexico, Surinam, British Guyana, Demerara, Peru, Cuba, Vera Cruz, Brazil and Madeira.
