FIRST EDITION, folio (445 x 315mm.), 48 hand-coloured lithographed plates by F. Detollenaere after Detollenaere and Maubert, contemporary green half calf, occasional toning, text block cracking in places

An important large-format work on a wide-ranging selection of the most beautiful tropical orchids.

Château de La Celle Saint-Cloud is an estate in Yvelines, just north of Versailles. In 1844 it was bought by Jean-Pierre Pescatorea, a wealthy tobacco merchant. Together with his wife and the Bulher brothers they transformed the gardens, building a manège, an orangerie, a path lined with foreign and exotic trees, and an orchid greenhouse.
