Marloth (Rudolph) THE FLORA OF SOUTH AFRICA 4to (295 x 215 mm) 4 volumes in 6 parts (volumes 2 & 3 each in two parts), 180 colour plates, many plain plates, and numerous text figures (figure 59 in volume 4 missing as usual), original green cloth, bookplates on the front paste-down endpapers and corresponding small stamps below the date on the title pages. The cloth is insect scarred – this is particularly bad on volumes 1 and 4, bindings of volumes 1 and 4 are loose with some plates detached, some occasional light foxing. Marloth was an analytical chemist by profession and soon after he arrived in Cape Town in 1883 he started a herbarium of South African plants. He was devoted to the search for rare flora and he went on botanical expeditions as far afield as the Karoo, the Free State, Botswana and Namibia. The originals of the colour plates were painted in Cape Town by artists such as Ester Smith and Ethel May Dixie and printed in Germany. See Woods, `Veld and Flora`, September 1976, pp.10-11. This article also discusses the missing figure 59 concluding that as the figure was sent out after publication to be inserted very few copies are found with the missing illustration. The errant illustration was reproduced in `Veld & Flora` in June 1986 accompanied by a note by R. Geary-Cooke and a photocopy of figure 59 has been included in the set we offer here. Of Florence Phillips Woods writes, `The production of this costly and magnificent work was made possible only by the bountiful generosity of Sir Lionel and Lady Phillips, who together bore the entire cost of printing and publication. At the outset Lady Phillips had asked Marloth if he could write a popular book on South African flora, but he made it clear that it would have to be scientific. It could be said that the final result was a happy combination of both aspects.` Fair Cape Town Darter Bros. & co. 1913 -1932 Click here to view further details and to bid

Paterson (Lieutenant William) A NARRATIVE OF FOUR JOURNEYS INTO THE COUNTRY OF THE HOTTENTOTS, AND CAFFRARIA IN THE YEARS 1777, 1778, 1779 4to (305 x 245 mm) Illustrated with a map and nineteen copper-plates. The Second Edition, Corrected: xii,175, (i directions for placing of the plates) pages, 19 hand coloured engraved plates (15 of botanical subjects and 4 of Bushmen habitations, Hottentots, Horned Snake and Camelopardalis), folding map, old half calf rebacked preserving the backstrip and red title labels, marbled paper sides, small book label of a previous owner on the front paste-down endpaper, contained in a later slip case in brown cloth with a leather lip. The edges and corners are worn, light foxing on the plates, contents are clean and bright, a good copy unusual with the hand coloured plates. It is uncertain how many copies with hand coloured plates were issued. None of the originals of the engravings in the two editions of Paterson’s Four Journeys are in the collection in the Brenthurst Library so the colouring cannot be compared but the colouring in this copy is botanically accurate. Paterson, William (1755-1810), traveller and lieutenant-governor of New South Wales, was born on 17 Aug. 1755. He entered the army at an early age, but not before he had developed a strong liking for natural history, especially botany. The interest and patronage of Lady Strathmore enabled him to gratify these tastes, and before entering upon active service he had made a series of exploring expeditions in the Hottentot country. He left England early in 1777, arrived at Capetown in May, and on 16 Oct., in company with Captain Gordon, made his first expedition, returning to Cape Town on 13 Jan. 1778. His second expedition lasted from May to 20 Nov. 1778. His third was into the district which he called Caffraria, and claimed as hitherto unknown, and it lasted from 23 Dec. 1778 to 23 March 1779. His fourth journey occupied him from 18 June to 21 Dec. the same year. He made several fresh contributions to science, and is credited with having brought to England the first giraffe-skin ever seen there. The French traveller Le Vaillant several times refers to his researches in high terms. Paterson published `A Narrative of Four Journeys into the Country of the Hottentots and Caffraria in the years 1777–8–9,` London, 1789, 4to. A second corrected edition and a French translation appeared in 1790. His botanical collections are in the Natural History Museum at South Kensington. http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Paterson,_William_(1755-1810)_(DNB00) Mendelssohn (S.) South African Bibliography, volume 2, pages143-4, `Mr Paterson accompanied Colonel Gordon (Commander of the Troops of the Dutch East India Company in South Africa) and Jacob van Reenan in several trips to the interior. He remarked that he does not give a description of the Cape as he would be only repeating what Sparrman and Masson had already communicated in their publications. In the course of his travels the author penetrated as far as Namaqualand on the west, and the Great Fish River on the south-east. Although the principal feature of the work is the description of the botanical specimens collected and noted by Mr. Paterson, there are many interesting notes respecting the natives, with a few remarks on the Dutch Colonists.` Good London Printed for John Johnson 1790 Click here to view further details and to bid
