Buch
Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Oversized hardcover. Bound in red cloth with elaborate gold stamped decorations on cover and spine. Red cloth and gold decorations both faded from age. Corners bumped. Spine strip chipped and held on by two strips of clear tape. Text block tight. Brightly colored engraved title page with portrait engraving of Strong opposite, with tissue guard. Printed title page follows, dated 1855. 190 pages + 7 page "language of flowers' appendix. There are 48 full page hand colored plates (plus the colored title page and the portrait). The title page called for '66 beautiful colored engravings' -- the consensus seems to be that since some of the plates have more than one species on them, the 66 engravings called for are entirely represented by the 48 plates. I do not see any evidence of missing plates. Measures 7.75 x 10 inches. Wide margins. Plates are bright (gaudily?) colored with only mild fading from age and some inoffensive foxing to a few. Inscription on the front endpaper, 'Awarded to Miss Eliza H. Hensett for Great General Improvement. Academy of Miss D. T. Hilbourn. July 2nd, 1857.' Please email with questions or to request photos. If you see a photo beside this listing, please be aware that it s an ABE Stock Photo (whatever that is) and not a photo of this book.

Two volumes. Vol. I: 137,[1],iv pp.; lithographic additional title, frontispiece, and fifty plates, printed in colors and finished by hand. Vol. II: 192pp.; lithographic additional title, frontispiece, and forty-six plates, printed in colors and finished by hand. Quarto. Original pictorial gilt cloth, spines richly gilt in vine pattern, a.e.g. Boards lightly rubbed, corners worn and bumped, worn at spine ends. Scattered foxing, confined largely to the text but with a few fox marks on some plates, but with the plates generally clean and brightly colored. A very good set. The first two volumes of this four-volume work. The last two volumes are quite rare. Asa Strong, a physician, was one of the most popular natural history writers of his day. The qualities of each plant are given and its medicinal uses explained. Several of the plates were drawn by the noted illustrator, Edwin Whitefield, and others are by D.W. Moody. A definitive collation for this work is problematic, as Stafleu notes: "The copies listed in The National Union Catalog show a great variation." According to Stafleu, there are three issues of volume I, dated 1846, 1847, and 1848. The present set includes the 1848 third issue of volume I, which should have a frontispiece, engraved title and fifty plates. The present copy includes all those and is therefore complete. The second volume contains one more plate than called for by Stafleu (who notes only an additional titlepage, frontispiece, and forty- five plates). Bennett writes: "The publisher clearly did not count pages of color plates when listing the numbers on the title pages, but counted every separate item on each page. It has even been suspected that he counted fly-specks" (p.103). Bennett further notes that complete sets of Strong's AMERICAN FLORA. are "extremely difficult to locate." Strong is particularly interesting as one of the first publications to include introduced exotics, including plants from Africa. BENNETT, p.103. BRADLEY BIBLIOGRAPHY III, p.58. McGRATH, p.218.
