Corners and edges slightly rubbed, minor scratches to the marbled covers overall an excellent copy, completely uncut and very nice and clean. Text as well as plates printed on fine, thick paper.

A wonderful, tall, large, uncut copy printed on good paper of this magnificent work on grasses by the first director of the botanical garden in Vienna. A fourth volume, also comprising 100 plates, was issued 4 years later in 1809 - it is not present here. The beautiful plates are unsigned but drawn by Johannes Baptista Jebmayer (J. Ibmayer). The work is one of the finest works on grass ever produced, even while in production, it was praised for the ""elegance and correctness"" of the plates - ""Both adjectioves are justified"" the botanical details, in particular, are beautifully done, and often - to those of us who think of grass as being simply green - surprisingly colourful."" (Coats)""The work is a product of the golden Age of Viennese botany, when Hapsburg patronage attracted many botanists, and paid for lavish publication of their work. The present work is dedicated to the Emperor Francis I and his subsidy was particularly necessary as grasses are a 'difficult' group with restricted appeal"" no other work on the family can approach this one in magnificence."" Nikolaus Host was personal physician to Franz I and director of the botanical garden in Vienna, which was founded by the emperor on the advice of Host. Host ""established a botanic garden for the cultivation of Autrian plants, in the grounds of the Belvedere in Vienna, and travelled all over the country to collect them"" but his great ""Flora Austriaca"" was still unfinished when he died at the age of seventy-three.""
