POITEAU, A. and P. TURPIN.
Traité des arbres fruitiers: A Group of six Pears.
H. Perronneau for T. Delachausée, Paris, 1807-1835.
A group of six stipple-engraved plates printed in colours and finished by hand.
Six plates from 'One of the finest and rarest books on fruit' (Dunthorne p.192). This series takes its title from Duhamel's Traité of 1768, it is an independent work and was intended as Poiteau and Turpin's homage to the earlier work. A team of over twenty engravers was involved. The colour printing was by Langlois, the great French colour-printer who supervised much of Redouté's work.

- BUCHOZ. A Group of Four TulipsLocated in London, GBA Group of 4 hand-coloured engraved plates of tulips, in matching silver leaf frames. Dimensions: 34.6cm by 48.5cm. 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. [Paris 1781] 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. The final tulip plate...Category

Stafleu, "Redoute - peintre de fleurs" in A Catalogue of Redouteana). Redoute was at the height of his powers during the publication of Les Liliacees.
