Provenance: Lionel Phillips (bookplate to pastedown); with B. Quaritch Ltd., 1973, $3,224. A RARE WORK, PERHAPS ONE OF LESS THAN 80 COPIES "OF ONE THE MOST SPLENDID BOTANICAL WORKS TO BE PUBLISHED IN ENGLAND IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY" (Tomasi). Priscilla Susan Falkner drew plants raised in the greenhouses of her family home, Fairfield (demolished 1913), 2 miles east of Liverpool and, by 1829, had "enough studies of lilies and allied plants for publication, a venture promoted by her friend, William Swainson. She modelled her proposed book, then tentatively named Drawings of lilies , on William Roscoe's 'Monandrian Plants' (1824 8), with the plates to be accompanied by brief letterpresses based on her notes. Indeed, she even used Roscoe's book prospectus as a model for her own. In it, she advertised her Drawings of Liliaceous Plants arranged by Botanists in the genera Crinum, Amaryllis, Pancratium , to appear in ten numbers, each of five plates to be lithographed by Hullmandel, subscribers paying a guinea a number, others 27s" (Mabberley). Her marriage the next year to Edward Bury F.R.S. (1794-1858), a wealthy railway engineer, funded the present work, and in 1831 Bury's drawings began to be published as here, as "A Selection of Hexandrian Plants". The plates were engraved by Robert Havell, he who published Audubon's iconic "The Birds of America", but the work had only seventy-nine subscribers. "Fifty-one plates appeared in ten fascicles, the last in 1834, but whether or not the text is Bury's is unclear. The plates are fine-grained aquatints, partly printed in colour and retouched by hand: the original drawings later went to Dumbarton Oaks, Washington. The published work has been praised as certainly one of the most effective colour-plate folios of its period (Blunt and Stearn, 248).( D. J. Mabberley for DNB). Havell's skill was beautifully married to Bury's watercolours of hexandrian plants. Tomasi notes: '[he] managed to translate the artist's fine watercolours into aquatints of even more striking beauty', described by Dunthorne as 'finely coloured plates of perfect technique, very decorative and ''modern'' in feeling'. Just 79 subscribers are listed (including Audubon), and it is unlikely that the number produced was much beyond that, accounting for its scarcity, which is noted by both Stafleu and Cowan and Pritzel.
