1801 Japanese Ikebana Flower Arrangement Tokugawa Japan Woodblock Print Enshu 4v

An interesting 19th century woodblock-print of 'The Fragrance of Flower Arrangements.' This collection of writings is about the calligraphic style of flower arranging (Ikebana) called Enshu. The Enshu School of Ikebana was founded in the 17th century by Lord Kobori Enshu, a member of the Imperial Court of Japan in the Edo Era. Lord Enshu tutored "Iemitsu" of the Tokugawa Shogunate whose artistic concepts were expressed in the art of flower arrangement resulting in the establishment of Kado Enshu.

The Enshu style became popular among the nobles and members of the Samurai class and the masses. The style is composed of gracefully curving lines to depict flowing calligraphy. This 4-volume set depicts how cuts are made along the branch, into which wedges are inserted to form the desired calligraphic shape.

This rare 1801 edition is written in the typical column handwritten format with furigana usage for easier reading with excellent illustrations throughout of different types of flowers and their proper arrangements!

Benjamin Maund was a 19th-century British naturalist who, beginning in 1825, published one of the most important and desirable works on British flowers. 'The Botanic Garden' was a regularly printed periodical that illustrated the flower and plants found in British gardens, particularly the Royal Gardens.

According to Dunthorne in 'Great Flower Books', Maund's "Botanic Garden" is
"A delightful work, not only full of useful and practical information, but illustrated with most charming plates carefully engraved and colored."

These first two volumes of 'The Botanic Garden' includes nearly 150+ hand-colored illustrations of flowers, leaves, plants, and more!

1836 AFRICA 1ed Lander Niger River Exploration Illustrated Maps Slavery

Richard Lander was an English explorer who made his name for his voyages into Africa. After nearly a decade of African voyages, the British government sent Richard and his brother John in 1830 to explore the Niger River. While at the river delta, they were captured by local tribes for a short time. Their voyage did yield grand results – they discovered the Niger River course and outlets.
The specifics of the journey were written and published under various titles, including 'The Travels of Richard and John Lander'. This work is a fascinating account of African culture, geography, and 19th-century exploration. This 1836 first edition includes nine fine, full-page engravings, including maps and views of local tribes.

1822 Famous 2ed David Porter Journal USS Essex Battle of Valparaiso War of 1812

David Porter was an early American naval captain who served on the USS Constitution and the USS Essex. While aboard the Essex, Porter faced significant hardships, including the Battle of Valparaiso where the ship was ultimately disabled. Porter kept a journal of his time aboard the Essex, a journal that was quickly published after capture of the Essex.
According to Hill, the second of Porter's 'Journal' is the "best edition" and is more complete even than the first. In fact, this edition contains the first instance of the details of Porter's loss of the USS Essex in 1814. This edition also includes an expanded preface as well as folding maps and notes and illustrations on the Galapagos Islands.

1790 Five Orders Architecture VIGNOLA Italian ART Michelangelo RARE French ed

The most successful architectural textbook ever written!

A rare printing of Vignola's 'Five Orders of Architecture' Giacomo da Vignola was perhaps the most important 16th-century architects. Originally printed in 1562, 'Regola,' as it is often called, was successful mainly due to its effectiveness in teaching. It was designed to aid builders and designers in the realization of their architectural projects. It focuses on all five of the major orders (or styles) of architecture – Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, Tuscan, and Roman. (Fabrizio)
This 18th-century French edition includes 84 impressive architectural engravings and features a short treatise on stone cutting and carpentry, as well as lessons on the work of Vignola by Claude Delagardette.
