Joseph Hooker, whose father William was the first director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, was assistant surgeon aboard Erebus, his sojourns ashore allowing him 'to collect plants in relatively unexplored regions. Before Hooker set sail Charles Lyell of Kinnordy (father of the geologist) had given him the proofs of Charles Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle, which he read eagerly' (ODNB), inspiring his scientific and botanical endeavours. On his return he was able to publish his reports with the support of an Admiralty grant of £1,000 to pay for the printing of the plates. This copy has both title-pages dated 1847, the title to volume 1 usually dated 1844. Two further publications on the flora of New Zealand, and of Tasmania were published between 1851-1859.Provenance: W.L.

Curtis (William). Flora Londinensis: Or Plates and Descriptions of such Plants as Grow Wild in the Environs of London: with their places of growth, and times of flowering; their several names according to Linnaeus and other authors: with a particular description of each plant in Latin and English. To which are added their several uses in medicines, agriculture, rural oeconomy, and other arts, 2 volumes bound in 6, 1st edition, London: printed for the author, 1777-98, volume I title with oval engraved vignette, subscribers' list, 435 fine hand-coloured engraved plates on 432 sheets after James Sowerby, Sydenham Edwards, William Kilburn and others, each plate numbered at foot in early ink, index leaves similarly numbered in manuscript, volume II title, dedication and index leaves (bound in second volume detached), occasional light spotting and toning, 19th century morocco-backed boards, somewhat rubbed and scuffed with edge wear, folio (475 x 285 mm) Qty: (6)Footnote: Henrey 595; Hunt 650; Nissen BBI 440. Provenance: Porkington Library, shelf number labels to front pastedown. Porkington (or Brogyntyn) is a mansion house near Oswestry in Shropshire, formerly the estate of the Maurice and Owen families, and subsequently the Ormsby-Gore (Harlech) family from 1815. It housed famous English and Welsh manuscripts which are now in the National Library of Wales."The work was originally published in numbers, seventy-two of these appearing from May 1775 until 1798... Curtis intended to continue the work until all the plants growing wild within ten miles of London were figured and described, and then to publish a continuation of it to extend to all plants indigenous to Great Britain. Unfortunately the undertaking did not receive the encouragement it deserved and so it was never completed. W. Hugh Curtis points out that the Flora londinensis was Curtis's favourite botanical project, but the sales seldom, if ever exceeded 300 copies and the venture lost him a good deal of money... Curtis adopted the novel plan of having the specimens drawn to a uniform scale and to life size, and most of the plates display a high degree of accuracy. In the opinion of Salisbury, the majority of the figures 'represent the most successful portrayals of British wild flowers that have ever been achieved'." (Henrey pp. 65-67).

Merian (Maria Sybilla). Dissertatio de Generatione et Metamorphosibus Insectorum Surinamensium, 1st complete edition, Amsterdam: Jan Oosterwyk, 1719, title with hand-coloured engraved vignette, dedication leaf to Balthazar Scott with hand-coloured coat-of-arms but without the engraved frontispiece after F. Ottens, 72 fine hand-coloured copper-engraved plates of insects, plants and lizards by P. Sluyter, J. Mulder and D. Stooppendaal after Merian, plate 9 with tear and repair, occasional scattered pale spotting and light marginal soiling, one or two short closed tears but generally in good condition, loose armorial bookplate of The Honourable James Bertie of Stanwell (1674-1735, Tory MP), hinges reinforced, contemporary mottled calf gilt, rebacked with original spine relaid, a few repairs to edges of covers, a little rubbed, large folio (50.5 x 35 cm)Qty: (1)Footnote: Dunthorne 205; Hunt 467; Nissen BBI 1341. The first complete edition, containing all seventy-two plates of one of the most famous publications on tropical insects and flowers. The first edition, containing sixty plates, was published in 1705, following Maria Sybilla Merian's voyage to the Dutch colony of Surinam, accompanied by her daughter Dorothea, in June 1699, where she stayed for nearly two years, studying and recording with the aid of a microscope the local plants and insects. The work provides a wealth of information and illustration on the metamorphoses of South American insects and the exotic plants on which they feed. The extraordinary detail and vivid colours of the plates are without precedent in the history of entomological and botanical literature. Following Maria Merian's death in 1717, her other daughter Johanna produced an additional ten plates, together with two by the famous collector Albert Seba, which are here published for the first time.

Sydney Harpley (1927–1992)"Girl on a Swing"Signed, number 0/0 artist's proof from an edition of 12, bronze, 63cm highProvenance: Duncalfe Galleries, Harrogate, 3/5/1989Literature: This example has been acknowledged by Dr Chris Beetles and will appear in his forthcoming catalogue raisonné on Sydney Harpley. Footnote: Born in London in 1927, Sydney Harpley was a British sculptor known for his depictions of the solitary female form. Following National Service, he studied sculpture at Hammersmith School of Art from 1950-1953, before furthering his studies at the Royal College of Art under sculptor John Skeaping until 1956. During this time, he exhibited in the Young Contemporaries and the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy, the beginning of his long career exhibiting nationally and internationally. He was made a Royal Academician in 1981. From the late 1950s Harpley began receiving public commissions, which culminated in a commission for a life-size ‘Girl on a Swing’ for the Singapore Botanical Gardens in 1984. Since his early days at art college, it was the female form which intrigued Harpley the most as a sculptor, heavily influenced by Edgar Degas. Throughout his career he returned again and again to the solitary female, be it in the guise of a dancer, an acrobat or a girl on a swing. His first ‘Girl on a Swing’ was exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition in 1974, and bronzes by this important Neo-Romantic artist can be found in many national and international collections.Condition report: Some light surface dirt.
