Plantae Selectae quarum imagines ad exemplaria naturalia Londini in hortus curiosorum. [Nuremberg: 1750-1773].
First edition of one of the greatest eighteenth-century botanical colour-plate books. Trew, a wealthy physician at Nuremberg and amateur botanist, admired the talent and skill of his younger countryman, Georg Ehret (1708-1770), a gardener and flower painter. This work is their major collaboration, and all 100 plates of the Plantae selectae were drawn by Ehret, considered to be one of the greatest botanical painters of the eighteenth century. Trew died in 1769, as did Ehret the following year, leaving the last three parts uncompleted, with the work being finished by Benedict Christian Vogel, Professor of Botany at the University of Altdorf. The work was conceived as early as 1742 when Trew wrote to Christian Thran in Carlsruhe: ‘Every year I receive some beautifully painted exotic plants (by Ehret) and have already more than one hundred of them, which with other pieces executed by local artists, should later on, Deo volante, constitute an appendicem to Weinmann’s publication but will, I hope, find a better reception than his’. In 1748, agreement was reached that Johann Jacob Haid from Augsburg should provide the engravings, and the first part appeared in 1750. The collation of this work is variable, there being a possible two further portraits (Trew and Vogel), as well as part-titles to the decuriae, not present here; sold without the very rare supplement by Vogel, published later in two decuriae in 1790-1792. Great Flower Books (1990) p.144); Nissen BBI 1997 Stafleu & Cowan 15.131.
10 parts (decuriae) in 1 volume, folio (534 x 368mm). Engraved title in red, gold, and black, mezzotint portraits of Ehret and Haid, 100 hand-coloured engraved plates by Ehret, captioned in gold (without the decuriae titles and the portraits of Trew and Vogel found in some copies, light soiling and staining with one or two plates browned, pl. XXXI more heavily). Contemporary red half Morocco over orange cartonage boards, gilt spine (extremities lightly rubbed, corners expertly repaired). Provenance: M.M.B. (small, unidentified book label) – Philippe de Vilmorin (bookplate; sold Sotheby Parke Bernet 24 May 1982, lot 197, where it was described as having ‘an additional plate of a tulip from Hortus Nitidissimis as frontispiece’ but this has been subsequently removed).
