Clayton, John Cowthorpe Oak. [Bradford:] Privately printed, [nd, but presumed 1899]. 8vo, 22 lithographed text pages, one printed table of measurements and 32 photographs mounted double-sided on card in a folding case. With a framed and glazed etching of the Oak, signed in the plate J.G. Strutt, 1824. A facsimile copy of Clayton's manuscript account of the Oak, dated 1899, with occasional MSS corrections of references to photographs. The account appears to be that later published in the Transactions and Proceedings of the Botanical Society of Edinburgh for 1903 (pp. 396-414, with only 7 of the photographs here). Cowthorpe, near Harrogate, was famous for its huge spreading oak, of which Dr Hunter in his edition of Evelyn's Silva said 'Compared to this, all other trees are children of the Forest.' The oak had been recorded as decaying in 1822, but did not finally die until 1950. We have been able to trace copies of this example in the British Library and at Leeds University and there appears to have been a forerunner to this published in 1893 and held at the Natural History Museum. Cat. Lib. Linn. Soc. London, 1925, p. 168. Rubbing and bumping to case, text creased at edges, but generally clean, photos variously fading, mountings dusty and bumped at edges, but a very good example of a seemingly rare item.
