JAUME SAINT-HILAIRE, Jean Henri (1772-1845) et André THOUIN (1747-1824)
Traité des arbrisseaux et des arbustes cultivés en France et en pleine terre. Paris : chez l'auteur, 1825.

Exemplaire sur grand papier, provenant de la célèbre bibliothèque d'Árpád Plesch. Les espèces décrites et reproduites sont classées par ordre alphabétique, de l'abricotier au viorne laurier-tin. Les planches, gravées au pointillé et imprimées en couleurs, sont reprises d'un ouvrage précédent, les Plantes de la France publiées entre 1805 et 1809. Cependant, elles sont ici toutes retouchées au pinceau, ce qui n'était pas le cas lors de leur première publication.
L'exemplaire provient de la célèbre bibliothèque du bibliophile hongrois Árpád Plesch : il est listé dans le catalogue établi en 1973 par Henry-Pierre Gourry (Mille et un livres botaniques, p. 281) et fut vendu aux enchères avec le reste de sa collection en 1975-1976 (The magnificent botanical library of the Stiftung für Botanik, Vaduz, Liechtenstein collected by the late Arpad Plesch. Partie 2, 17-18 novembre 1975, Londres, Sotheby Parke Bernet & Co., lot n°399).
Brunet, III, col. 517-518 ; Nissen, BBI, 991 ; Pritzel, n°4402.

2 vol. in-4 (268 x 172 mm). Édition originale. Illustré de 176 planches gravées au pointillé, imprimées en couleurs et retouchées au pinceau, avec leurs serpentes d'origine (exemplaire frais, malgré quelques rousseurs et piqûres marginales, restauration discrète en marge inférieure de la planche n°155). Reliure du milieu du XIXe siècle : demi-maroquin vert à long grain à coins, dos à nerfs et caissons ornés (dos légèrement insolés, quelques frottements aux coins).
Provenance : Árpád Plesch (ex-libris ; 1889-1974).

A fine, large paper copy of this beautiful book, illustrated with 176 stipple colour-engravings, all retouched by hand. From the renowned collection of rare botanical books of Árpád Plesch.
