Edition originale
First edition, small folio (320 x 215 mm), [2], xx 130 + 2pp., of publisher's adverts, with half-title, 62 leaves of actual mounted specimens within printed decorative page borders, some offset, one of 100 copies, orig. publisher's blue moire silk cloth, gilt, re-cased, joints torn, head and foot of spine frayed, boards with bevelled edges, rubbed. Described by Wakeman in Victorian Book Illustration as "More serious works are represented by Frederick Hanham's Natural illustrations of the British grasses, 1846, described in a advertisement as being 'illustrated with 62 Real Specimens carefully preserved and mounted forming a splendid volume in small folio suitable for the library of the connoisseur, the study of the agriculturist, and the drawing room table of the affluent, Price L2.2'. The great drawback of this method of illustration is also mentioned in the advertisement, namely the immense labour involved, 'each 100 copies of the British grasses, for instance, requiring the collection, preparation and mounting of 6,200 distinct specimens.' The results rarely justified the effort, since the plants were difficult to fix securely into the books, were often fragile, and prevented the book from closing properly even when they were guarded in." Our copy has all specimens present and in an excellent state of preservation. Provenance: Contemporary bookplate of Robert H. Elliot. Wakeman, Victorian Book Illustration, P. 65.

Hardback. Etat : Good. First Edition. [5], vi-xix, [2], xvii-xx, [2], 3-130pp and sixty-two leaves of grass specimens. Original publishers morocco, bevelled boards, smooth back, spine with title and publisher in gilt within a decorative cartouche, covers with a thick and thin line border, an inner frame made up of a double fillet, a thick blind line and an inner triple fillet with volute and flower head corner pieces and an elaborate foliate and volute centre piece with the title to its centre (lower cover without the title). Quite heavily rubbed to extremities and lower cover, chipped to spine ends with small amounts of loss, bumped bumped and worn. First section of text slightly loose with sewing broken but holding well, some light browning and dust staining to edges, and occasionally to sample pages. One sample has worn through the opposite page of text leaving a series of small holes but with no loss of text, a few small closed tears to page edges. Samples are generally in good order, some off setting as usual, one or two have slight elements of loss (seed heads, leaves etc), but all are present and correct. The nature of the book means that few survive in good states of preservation, though this morocco edition tends to survive in a better state than the watered silk binding more commonly found. The publishers seemed to have specialised in these types of book, also publishing 'Wildflowers and Their Teachings' and 'Ocean Flowers and Their Teachings' "each containing dried specimens, literary extracts and poems" (Wakeman, 'Victorian Book Illustration', page 65). The book was published at two guineas, and the "publishers were proud enough of their process to display 'Natural Illustrations of the British Grasses' at the 1851 Exhibition in London" (Cave, 'Impressions of Nature', page 69). The binder's were Astle and Sons, see Ramsden page 31 and Packer, page 9. Perkins 747 Size: 4to.

Bath: Binns and Goodwin, 1846. Small folio, xx, 130, (2, ads) with 62 specimens of dried grasses mounted on separate plates each with printed title and border. Publisher's red pebbled morocco, elaborately paneled in gilt and blind over beveled boards, backstrip gilt with title entwined by grasses of the field and the publisher's name surmounted by an oval vignette of reeds at the water's edge, bound by Astle and Sons. Binding lightly rubbed and worn at tips, occasional light foxing and offsetting, specimens astonishingly well preserved. § First (only) edition. A beautifully preserved specimen book describing the grasses of Great Britain. Taxonomy is discussed but the accompanying text is mostly literary, extolling the charms of grasses and their vital importance to mankind. The specimens themselves are extraordinarily delicate and attractive. "Dried specimens of plants, when preserved with care as to their natural appearance and character, must always be more interesting and valuable to a Botanist, or a lover of Nature, than engravings; being the real or original object, which drawings are intended only to portray. there is much. that the pencil can never show" (Hanham, Preface). A small ecological treasure from the pre-herbicide era (one wonders how many of the grasses contained are now endangered or extinct) and one with renewed significance in the light of the rewilding movement in England and new efforts by English Heritage and others to restore former meadowlands.
