for a detailed view. Information: Pierre-Joseph Buchoz [1731-1807] Pierre Joseph Buchoz was a French lawyer, physician, botanist and naturalist who was very interested in the medicinal virtues of various plants. His most famous and highly celebrated work was "Histoire universelle du règne végétal ou nouveau dictionnaire physique et economique", published between the years 1773-1778. This work was a huge undertaking, comprising of some 1, 200 engravings of... plants, many of which were engraved from the original drawings in the "Collection des velins" in the Museum d' Histoire Naturelle in Paris.In some of these works, considerable use is made for the first time of drawings of Chinese plants executed by native artists. Much of Buchoz's other works also has a distinctly oriental flavor. Buchoz is notorious for his method of reusing plates, making only subtle differences, in many books. He never gained the recognition he sought for his scientific work; the composition and quality of these prints are comparable to the best natural history works of the period Date: 1776Source: Collection précieuse et enluminée des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses, qui se cultivent tant dans les jardins de la Chine, que dans ceux de l'EuropePlate No.: 70Description: Oriental Bird and floralPrint method: Hand-colored etched plates within yellow wash bordersCondition: Overall Excellent within print minor blemisheSize of Print: 46.2 x 27.5 cm. approximately (18.19 x 10.83 in.)References: Nissen BB1 282; Dunthorne 60; Pritzel 1326], folio (462 x 275mm.), Paris, Lacombe and Debure l'ainé, [1776]; described in Hunt, Stafleu or Great Flower Books, and with no copy in either the Plesch or de Belder collections.A Great Gift For Any Manuscript Collector We Now Accept PayPal!
