Author: NURSERY
Seller: Ursus Books (United States)
Description: 1890. NURSERY. Specimen Book of Fruits and Flowers and Ornamental Trees carefully drawn and coloured from Nature for the use of Nurserymen. Title and 66 Plates, of which 55 are hand coloured by stencil and 11 are offset prints. Oblong 4to, original black alligator cloth and metal clasp. Rochester: W. Brunswick & Co., ca. 1900. An unusual example of this unique American contribution to nineteenth-century bookmaking, which were mostly created in Rochester New York. The first and most celebrated of the Rochester companies producing these plates was D.M. Dewey, and the last to survive producing stencils was Brunswick, which closed in 1920. Many of the plates have captions giving name of variety of plant and brief information on main characteristics and growing season. Sadly it has been the fate of these catalogues to be dismembered, leaving very few intact. Edward G. Mason, Muncie Indiana, stamped on the binding, which is a little worn, but the contents are sound.
