(Korzus) Le Rouge's Jardins Anglo-Chinois series, published over fourteen years, is a treasure of "jardinomania," the fervent enthusiasm for Chinese gardens that swept Europe in the eighteenth century. It is the defining printed work of the era on the history of European gardens and the influence of the Anglo-Chinese aesthetic. An all-encompassing panorama that depicts flowerbeds, labyrinths, temples, man-made lakes, amphitheaters, pavilions, ruins, waterfalls, bridges, and aviaries, among other features, Les Jardins Anglo-Chinois includes French gardens such as Versailles and Roissy; English gardens such as Kew and Chiswick; German gardens such as Bagno Park and Würzburg; and most famously, Cahiers 14-17's 99 plates are dedicated to the gardens of the Emperor of China, including the famous Beijing garden the Yuanming Yuan that was destroyed in 1860. While collations of the book's plates differ, and can be seen as variously calling 491, 492, and 493 plates as complete, we believe the count stipulated by Royet's masterful bibliography to be correct, which is 491 as seen on pages 78 and 273. Every plate in Royet is contained in this copy. The thirty-page essay by the Swedish architect William Chambers, which was published in Cahier 5, is here bound-in preceding Cahier 1. The map of Potsdam published in Cahier 3 is here bound-in after Cahier 1 and before Cahier 2. Le Rouge was a famous cartographer, engraver, publisher, and architect. Likely born in Hanover to the French architect Louis Rémy de la Fosse, Le Rouge began his career publishing maps of Darmstadt and Alsace, and while in the service of Maurice of Saxony, a large map of Holland. From 1736 he lived in Paris, where he obtained the position of Ingénieur-géographe du roi for King Louis XV and Louis XVI. Le Rouge began to publish Les Jardins Anglo-Chinois in 1775 and continued the project over a period of fourteen years, incorporating plans, views, and texts often adapted from earlier printed sources, and occasionally from original drawings. Of great import are the detailed plans of a number of gardens that have either disappeared completely or have been altered to the point where the designer's original intentions are no longer evident, such as the garden at Raincy, which now only exists on paper. Perhaps more significant, and typifying the 18th-century vogue for chinoiserie, are the 99 plates of the gardens and palaces of the Qianlong Emperor of China in Cahiers 14 to 17, which are particularly valuable and more carefully executed than the versions published by Chambers. All of these 99 plates were engraved after Chinese woodblock illustrations or paintings, including those dating from 1744 when the emperor commissioned an album of 40 scenes from the painters Shen Yuan and Tang Dai. The album was later copied and given to the Swedish Ambassador in France before serving as a model for Le Rouge. The art historian Bernard Korzus writes of Jardins Anglo-Chinois, "As a whole this publication contains the most complete collection of views of gardens of Anglo-Chinese or any other mode. These images document the history of gardening over an exceptionally long period, from the projects of George Loudon at the start of the 18th century for the alterations to Wanstead, to the gardens of Monceau and Ermenonville." Complete copies of Jardins Anglo-Chinois are of the utmost rarity; the present copy is the most complete available in years. The census of institutional copies, complete and incomplete, in the United States and Europe that is included in Royet's masterly bibliography notes only 25 known copies. Of these, we could locate only nine complete copies, with sixteen incomplete. Berlin Katalog, 1613. Inventaire du fonds français, Graveurs du XVIIIe siècle XV, 56-72. Ganay, 99.

Copper-engraved map, on four joined sheets, with original outline colour, in excellent condition. A very fine copy of this highly important and large scale map of New England, the finest map of the region available to military commanders during the Revolutionary War. This is the grandest, most accurate and detailed map of New England produced during the British colonial period. It depicts the entire region from Long Island Sound up north to the line of 44'30 of latitude. While it shows that the coastal areas and the lower Connecticutt Valley were well settled, areas of the interior, especially in New Hampshire and the future Vermont were just developing, with the early boundaries of townships having recently been established by surveyors. Importantly, this map contains two detailed cartographic insets, one of the city of Boston (upper-left), and another of Boston Harbor on the lower-right sheet. The map is also adorned with a very handsome pictorial title cartouche, depicting the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock in 1620. The present map is the edition produced by Georges-Louis Le Rouge, then the royal Geographer to Louis XVI, and was significantly updated from the original issue of 1755. Copies of this issue would most certainly have been consulted by French commanders such as the Comtes D'Estaing and Rochambeau who both led forces in New England following France's entry into the Revolutionary War in support of the American cause in 1778. This map's maker, John Green, was an intriguing and larger-than-life figure, who has been called "the genius behind Jefferys". In addition to his extensive cartographic abilities, Green's personal history also stands out from amongst the biographies of other 18th-century British map makers. Green was born Braddock Mead in Ireland around 1688, married in Dublin in 1715 and moved to London in 1717. He was imprisoned in 1728 for trying to defraud an Irish heiress, and assumed his alias after his release from prison. He worked with Ephriam Chambers on his Universal Dictionary before joining the employ of Cave, Astley, and Jefferys. William Cumming remarked that Mead/Green 'had a number of marked characteristics as a cartographer . One was his ability to collect, to analyze the value of, and to use a wide variety of sources; these he acknowledged scrupulously on the maps he designed and even more fully in accompanying remarks. Another outstanding characteristic was his intelligent compilation and careful evaluation of reports on latitudes and longitudes used in the construction of his maps, which he also entered in tables on the face of the maps . Mead's contributions to cartography stand out . At a time when the quality and the ethics of map production were at a low ebb in England, he vigorously urged and practiced the highest standards; in the making of maps and navigational charts he was in advance of his time. For this he deserves due credit.' (Cumming, p.45). McCorkle, New England in Early Printed Maps, 755.19; Sellers & Van Ee, Maps & Charts of North America & West Indies, 802; cf. Crone, "John Green.
