Description

Mannheim, Schwan-Götzschen, [1820]. 8vo (18.2 x 11.9 cm). Title and half-title with woodcut vignette; viii, 182 pp.; one large, folded engraved map of this famous botanical garden in southern Germany; one attractive, engraved frontispiece showing the ancient mosque, and seven engravings of garden architecture. Original blue ruled boards with gilt floral borders, and spine with gilt title and vignettes. = A rare illustrated guide to one of the most alluring landscape gardens in Germany. The guide deals with the "Geschichte, Gartenanlage, Topographie", etc. Each chapter with a separate half-title with woodcut vignette. The first author, Johann Michael Zeyher (1770-1843) was an accomplished botanist. Stafleu and Cowan report three other papers by him on the gardens of Schwezingen (southern Germany), but not this one, underscoring its rarity. Neither is it mentioned in the Cat. BM(NH). A slightly later edition has the plates reengraved, omitting some details. Some, mostly rather vague dampstaining throughout, otherwise a good copy in a fine, contemporary binding. Stafleu and Cowan, VII, pp. 435-536.
