With a fold in the middle, unobtrusive on the front, more perceptible at the back (verso). We also have for sale the general title-page and the title-pages of the first and second installments, and coloured plates by Redouté, Freret and Fossier.A beautiful plate after drawings by Ludovic Freret. This one is taken from the very rare deluxe large paper edition of this work. 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). See: Günther Buchheim, 1965. A bibliographical account of L'Héritier's 'Stirpes novae'.

Aristolochia sipho. Plate VII & VIIB from: Stirpes novae, aut minus cognitae, quas descriptionibus et iconibus illustravit.
1785 Two handcoloured engraved plates drawn by Fretet and engraved by Milsan & Juillet, broadsheet or large imperial folio (45 x 59.6 cm). Uncut. With marginal, 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?). The second plate has no traces of watercolour but several small brown spots (outside the imprint area), and a 3 cm repaired marginal tear.
