Pierre-Joseph Buchoz
A Group of Six Hyacinths

About the Item

BUCHOZ, Pierre Joseph A Group of Six Hyacinths. Collection coloriée des plus belles variétés de Jacinthes, qu'on monte aux Curieux dans les Jardins des Fleuristes d’Harlem. Paris, The Author, 1781. A Group of Six hand-coloured engraved plates of hyacinths. Framed and glazed, overall dimensions: 34.5cm by 46.5cm x 1.5cm. A FINE GROUP OF THESE RARE FLOWER PLATES, the complete volume of 40 being part of Le Jardin d'Eden, which was intended as the supplement to the Collection des Fleurs de la Chine & de l'Europe, first published in 1776. The second half of the eighteenth century saw a boom in natural history publications in France fuelled by such works as Buffon’s Histoire Naturelle. The accession of Louis XVI in 1774 was followed by a relaxation in the regulation of the book trade making it easier for authors to publish their own works. No other writer was to take such copious advantage of these two developments as Pierre-Joseph Buchoz (1731-1807), a French physician, lawyer and naturalist. His works are characterised by the beauty of the illustrations, and their rarity owing to the small size of the print runs.
