Description
Florence: Filippo Giunti, 1590. Paperback. Very Good. 8vo (155 x 100mm). [8], 1-308pp., [4], register and printer’s mark of putti flanking fleur-de-lis on final verso. Signatures: *4; A-T8; V4. Text in italic. Woodcut chapter initials. Contemporary limp vellum, manuscript title to spine “La colvi-vazion-de Luigi Alamani,” (some intermittent browning and few wormholes not severe, a minor early cancelled inscription on front flyleaf; a solid copy of this rare Florentine printing). Letter receipt of 1950 from antiquarian booksellers Davis & Orioli in London. This Alamanni was brought from them by Avery Architecture Library (Columbia) curator James van der Pool. Rare 16th-century Giunta edition of Alamanni’s epigrammatic Renaissance work on agricultural matters, with a didactic poem on beekeeping by Giovanni Rucellai. Luigi Alamanni was a fiery Florentine poet and statesman and was involved in many of the political and papal affairs of his time. Banished by his country, Alamanni sought refuge in Paris and was a member of the French court from at least 1531. The Coltivazione was first published at Paris by Robert Estienne in 1546 by order of the king. This was Estienne’s only publication in Italian and was widely regarded as his most artistic book. When Alamanni returned to Florence in 1527, several more printings persisted, even after his death, as in this edition by Giunti. This edition was dedicated to Cristina di Lorena, wife of Ferdinando I de Medici, suggesting a renewal of Alamanni’s Tuscan roots. Directly following Alamanni’s work on agricultural matters is a Georgic poem based on Virgil titled Le Api, or “the Bee,” by Giovanni Rucellai. The didactic poem details much period first-hand knowledge of bees and beekeeping, including the variety of hives and moveable combs used in Italian apiculture. Roberto Titi added his commentary as short annotations, “for the convenience of scholars.” Rucellai’s work also included some superstitions and unusual charms of the period, one that bees could not bear to smell the breath of an unchaste person. Le Api was first published in 1539, but it was virtually unknown until its inclusion with the Coltivazione.

Description
Philadelphia: J. L. Sibole, Co., [1877], 1877. 4to.  295 x 225 mm., [11 ¾ x 9 inches].  36 ff. Illustrated with four color lithographic plates, 8 tinted lithographs with gray and tan backgrounds, and 4 smaller black and white engravings.  Bound in publisher's green cloth, gilt title on upper board; some wear to the corners and edges of the binding, but otherwise a very good, clean copy.  Presentation inscription in pencil to G. S. Carlton from Nathan Wilmart/ August, 1880. Although little is recorded in standard reference and bibliographies of American illustrators, it is apparent from contemporary advertisements and published articles, that Lida Clarkson had a significant career as a book illustrator and teacher.  In addition to this work, which combines both her poetry and her artwork, she was responsible for similar 'gift books' such as Indian Summer  and Violet with Eyes of Blue.  Clarkson was also a teacher of art techniques for young Victorian women interested in drawing and sketching.  In an article for Ingalls Home Magazine (1887), Lida and M. J. Clarkson published instructions on "The Art of Illumination" and "Lessons in Water Color", focusing on both a history of the art forms and practical techniques for painting and drawing. This book was printed by the lithographic firm, A. Hoen & Co., Baltimore, specialists in scientific illustration and map printing.  Perhaps their most important illustrated  publications was the Collection of Chinese Pottery in the Morgan Library, a work considered the "highest class in artistic reproduction ever done in the United States." In Clarkson's work, the quality of the color of the lilies is most extraordinary.  Melding colors to create sophisticated tones, both soft and subtle was their Hoen's signature work.  As Carl Peterson writes Hoen's work, "resulted in a most beautiful result in reproduction, as near to the touch of the brush, as any process known." Whitman Bennet, Practical Guide to American 19th Century Color Plate Books,  p. 24. William Reese, Nineteenth Century American Color Plate Books, no. 60.  Carl Peters, America on Stone, pp. 218-20.
