Carr, J D Combretaceae in Southern Africa (copy 6 of the de luxe edition of 6 numbered copies) [PREVIOUSLY SOLD ON ANTIQUARIAN AUCTION #4] Denzil Carr, an amateur in the class of George `Aloes` Reynolds, authored two comprehensive monographs on Southern Africa`s two most prolific botanical families - the Acacias and the Combretums. Both have become modern classics in their field. Two staff members of Fontein Books, Michael Barnett (designer and typographer) and Richard Proctor-Sims (editor), published Combretaceae of Southern Africa for the Tree Society of Southern Africa for a modest honorarium plus the right to produce and market a de luxe edition of six special copies, each a different colour goatskin, printed on Hahnemuele text paper with half-leather and marbled paper binding and solander boxes by Peter Carstens. One of these was presented to the Special Collection of the National Botanical Gardens in Kirstenbosch, Cape Town. This, Number 6 (the maroon copy), is being offered for sale for the second time. The book itself is unmarked and mint; the solander box is rated only fine as two of the the corners of the solander box are lightly bumped. As well as the frontispiece and 16 other full-page colour plates painted by Elise Buitendag, there are more than 300 photogaphs, distribution maps and other b/w illustratons in the text. This may well qualify as the finest example of botanical book production to have been published in South Africa in the second half of the 20th century. Strongly recommended to a South African public book collection. Further images on request.

No Date, 1885 (? ) ; Reprint of Original Edition, Preface Dated 1858 (Not Updated)Illustrated by woodcuts from photographs.

Research on other available copies of this particular publication all indicate the same. Presentation note to prelim, dated 1889. Some Edgewear and scuffing to covers with light blistering to front cover cloth. Internally very good. Ellis was sent to Madagascar three times to investigate whether Christians were being maltreated. That investigation was not productive, as he was denied access to the capital, but it was the first widely read account of the island, and a thorough description of the society, customs, religion and natural history. In 1852 the affairs of Madagascar had reached such a crisis that Ellis (1794-1872), a missionary, was requested to visit the island, in order to ascertain and improve the condition of the christians. (DNB). He visited the Cape in 1854 on which he gives an interesting account of many places together with botanical notes and information respecting the natives.Grandidier 1633; Mendelssohn I, p.518; SAB II, p.185.
