Stirpes novae, aut minus cognitae, quas descriptionibus et iconibus illustravit.
1784 Title page of the second installment (Fasciculus 2) of this important work, broadsheet or large imperial folio (45 x 59.5 cm). Uncut. With a small chip out of upper margin, a few repaired small tears in the margins, and a small paint (guache?) spot in left margin. From the same work we also have for sale the main title-page and that of the second installment, and coloured plates by Redouté, Fossier and Freret.This (2nd installment) title page is taken from the very rare deluxe large paper and hand-coloured edition of this work, with plates coloured by Piere Redouté and his brother Henri-Joseph Redouté. In 1965 about 44 copies of the work were known of which 9 incomplete, and of 31 studied only 11 were large-sized.In Stirpes novae Charles L'Héritier de Brutelle (1746-1800) described a great number of new species, many of which grew in his own garden, the gardens of his friends and in the Jardin du Roi. He had ample means and engaged the young Redouté to draw the majority of the plates (54 out of 91). The two developed a close friendship and L'Héritier taught Redouté the basics of plant taxonomy and dissection. The friendship proved a determining factor in Redouté's career and enabled him to fully develop his extraordinary talents. See: Günther Buchheim, 1965. A bibliographical account of L'Héritier's 'Stirpes novae'.

1788 Handcoloured engraved plate drawn by Redouté and engraved by François Hubert, broadsheet or large imperial folio (45 x 60 cm). Uncut. With marginal, unobtrusive small traces of watercolour, which makes me believe that this plate (and the other ten I have for sale) were used as examples for the colourists. At the back there are traces of glue which are not not affecting the front (stuck to a support for the colourists?). We also have for sale the general title-page and the title-pages of the first and second installments, and plates by Fossier and Freret.A beautiful plate after drawings by the young Pierre Joseph Redouté (1759-1840), then not yet 25 years old.
