Macclesfield Library Part I: Natural History, Sotheby’s, 16 March 2004, A complete set of this lavishly illustrated work, being the first comprehensive flora of the East Indies. Many of the plants are here illustrated for the first time. The botanist Rheede tot Draakestein was governor of the Dutch colony of Malabar on the South West Coast of India from 1669 to 1676, and Chief Representative of the Dutch East India Company in India from 1684. The work was completed with the help of several colleagues in the field, including the Italian missionary Father Mattheus a St. Joseph, who produced many of the drawings. Their work was sent back to Holland, where the botanical scholars Jan Commelin and Arnold Steyn added notes and assisted in its publication. Each plate is inscribed with the plant name in Latin, Malabarese, Arabic and ancient Brahmin. Provenance: Bookplate of Robert Lumley Lloyd (1666-1729) of Cheam, Surrey, Rector of St. Paul’s, Convent Garden, and Chaplain to the Duke and Dowager Duchess of Bedford, and a keen botanist whose gardens at Cheam were highly regarded. Extensive annotations to first and last few leaves of the first and thirteenth volumes, by Peter Collinson FRS, with some additional notes by Michael Collinson, and several mounted botanical samples (with captions) of exotic plants and trees. Peter Collinson (1694-1768) was a gardener and natural scientist, particularly known for his correspondence with Benjamin Franklin concerning electricity.Collinson provides a lengthy biographical notice of his friend Lumley Lloyd to the front endpapers of the first volume, ‘These books of the Hortus Malabaricus was the Legacy of my Dear Friend Docr. Lumley Lloyd D.D. of Cheam in Surry ... he was from his youth a great Lover of Flowers & Rare Plants, he told mee when he was a young studient at Cambridge about the year 1686 that he purchased from Holland three or four seeds of the Narsturtium Indicum ... at half a crown each, being then a great rarity for it came from India but two years before, he was so impatient to see it flower that he would not stirr out of Doors least it should Blow in his Absence. He well remembered and could name all the striped flowers Auriculas that was to purchased when he was a Lad att the 12 or 14th year of his age ... He told mee a long detail of the Gardners he purchased them off & that he valued no brick for a new flower - he told mee the original or mother of all the fine Auriculas that was then in being was Raised from the Seed of an Auricula named Blinds: Cream after the name of a Gardner at Mortlack that first produced it from seed, it was a flower that had good properties and was in request in my memory, but now anno 1746 I question if it is allowed a place in the pott or is to be found; Mr. Potter, Gardner at Micham had the greatest success in raising surprising fine Flowers from Seed with whome the Docr. laid out considerably every year notwithstanding he raised great many every year ... He with Mr. Potter’s assistance raised annually an infinite variety of most charming flowers & tulips he had almost without number produced from seed & breeders. So great was his love for this flower, of which he had the finest I ever saw in any collection - that he had two long and high iron frames which inclosed Two Beds Each, with a Walk in the Middle, this was all Coverd with Canvas to screen the Tulips from the Sun, it was very agreeable viewing them in the Heat of the day under this shade. These Two Iron Frames cost Eighty Pounds - all the Ranunculas & Anemony Beds had Lower Wood Frames & Canvas coverings. He spared No Expence to prolong His Favourite Flowers… My Valuable Friend was for greatest part of his Life sadly affected with the Gout, but when he could no longer bear being wheeld about his Garden in a Little Coach, so great was his Love for his darling amusement, he had his plants & flowers brought into his Library which was finely ornamented with them’.
