*** Please note, the description of this lot has changed ***Erotic literature.- [Stretzer (Thomas)] The Natural History of the Arbor Vitae:or, the Tree of Life. Published by a Society of Gardeners, woodcut ornament on title of a male figure pursuing a tree-nymph, woodcut initial and head-piece, title a little soiled, folds, C1 torn along vertical fold, chipping along folds with some slight loss to lettering, unbound and stitched, creasing, extremities chipped, small 4to, for John Wilkinson near Charing-Cross; And Sold by the Booksellers of London and Westminster, 1732.*** A rare erotic prose work. All issues are rare, each with only a handful of copies on ESTC, this imprint with only two copies listed (The National Trust and Henry E. Huntington Library). Stretzer was known for his Merryland books in which he used topographic metaphors to described the female body. The present work by contrast focuses on the male member through an extended botanical metaphor. We can trace no copies at auction."Some Virtuosi have thought of improving their trees for some purposes, by taking off the Nutmegs, which is however a bad way; they never see after, and are good for little more than making whistles of, which are importet every year from Italy, and sell indeed at a good price" pp. 6-7.
