- Used
- first
Washington DC: The Smithsonian Institution, 1925. First Trade Edition. Complete in five volumes. Large 4to. 400 beautiful color-printed plates, with tissue guards and descriptions. In the bindings of the famous Lindley Library, the Royal Horticultural Society's research library, with their small bookplate (cancelled) in each volume. Contemporary three- quarter brown morocco, raised bands, marbled endpapers; top edges gilt; gilt lettering on spines. A uniformly very good to near fine set (some rubbing to covers; minor wear to extremities; minor dampstain to edges near spine head of each volume, not affecting the contents). The color prints are crisp and clean. "North American Wild Flowers" contains color-printed reproductions of Mary Walcott's watercolors with her brief descriptions of each, giving information not only about the plant itself but about the circumstances of painting it. Included were plants from all parts of North American, specimens found in lawns and gardens as well as in the less accessible nooks and crannies of Canadian mountains. This work was a triumph not only for Mrs. Walcott, who was acclaimed by some as the 'Audubon' of American wild flowers, but also for the artisans of papermaking and color printing.

Description:
Washington: Smithsonian Institution, 1925. Five folio volumes. Each with descriptive text in original wrappers + 80 coloured plates (total 400 plates) in gilt lettered steel grey/blue linen clamshell portfolios with cloth ties. A fine set. The original price for the (Library) trade edition was $150.00. The original prospectus (not included) tells how much pain staking work went into the production, the plates were printed on all rag paper, and a special colour printing process was used. This truly spectacular production includes over a hundred examples of plants Mrs. Walcott sketched on travels to the Canadian Rockies with her famous geologist husband. Descriptions were by Edgar T. Wherry and notes on the insects by Frank Morton Jones. Getting scarce as a complete item as many copies have been broken up for the plates. 1925
