Hardcover. Second edition. 215 pages. 30 x 25 cm. Forty-two lithographic plates printed in colors and finished by hand, tissue guards. With no entry level manuals for gardening available in her day, she pioneered gardening as a suitable occupation for women. Her husband -- John C. Loudon, a prolific horticultural and landscape design writer founded the "Gardener's Magazine," the first periodical devoted solely to horticulture -- influenced her as did John Lindley, whose lectures she attended. Prior to her marriage her fiction writing, "The Mummy," an early science fiction novel, adumbrated perhaps by Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," and published anonymously in 1827 by Henry Colburn, received favorable reviews. NISSEN 1236 [1848 edition]. Plates generally clean, a few minor age spots to first few plates at upper margins not affecting images, raised bands, gilt decorated spine panels, joints and extremities rubbed. Three quarter green morocco and green cloth. Teg. Very good.

Erstausgabe
4to. (280 x 230 mm). pp. xii, 215. Half-title, printed title, four leaves with contents and list of plates, Loudon's introduction and text illustrated with 42 lithograph plates all with additional colouring by hand, final leaves with index of 'English and Botanic Names'. Contemporary red half-morocco, marbled boards and endpapers, banded spine with gilt tooling and title direct to spine in seven compartments, a.e.g. The first edition of Mrs. Loudon's work on Ornamental Greenhouse Plants. From her popular and highly influential botanical series, The Ladies' Flower-Garden, which by its accessible nature opened up the possibilities for gardening as a viable pursuit for women. The manuals comprised the simple yet effective formula of brief texts and charming hand-coloured illustrations. The descriptions included common plant names in English, their order and genus, some historical notes and instructions for cultivation. Jane Wells Webb Loudon began her botanical series in 1838 in order to alleviate the debt incurred by her husband, the renowned botanist, garden designer and horticultural writer John Loudon. Together they were regarded as leading horticulturists of their day, but Mrs Loudon recognised a lack of available material for the non-specialist plant enthusiast. Loudon was highly prolific and received awards from the Royal Literary Fund. Her circle of friends included Charles Dickens and William Makepeace Thackeray.
