The Illustrated BotanyNewman and Comstock, 1846-47NEWMAN, John (fl. 1840) and COMSTOCK, John Lee (1787-1858), editors. The Illustrated Botany. New York: J.K. Wellman, 1846 and 1847. First edition of a scarce and bibliographically complex botanical plate book, from the library of a former mayor of Kansas City, MO. According to McGrath, who only reports the first volume, "bibliographically, this book is maddeningly complex, and is extraordinarily scarce" (McGrath); copies exist in many variants. The handsome lithographs are an interesting mix of hand-colored and color printed; some are after Edwin Whitefield. Bennett p.83 (vol 1 only); McGrath, p. 90 (vol 1 only).  Two volumes in one, octavo (221 x 138mm). 59 plates, many hand-colored or color-printed, illustrations in text (occasional offsetting and toning, some plates just shaved at outer edge). Contemporary red morocco gilt with "Belviderea Fletcher" on upper board, edges gilt (rebacked preserving portion of original spine panel and label). Provenance: Belviderea Fletcher (supralibros) – Henry L. Jost (1873-1925, Mayor of Kansas City, MO and later congressman; book label).
