S. 113 - Nissen BBI, 1190 - Stafleu-C. 4484 - Pritzel 5268 - De Belder 216 - Hunt 673: "This is one of the more delightful flower books of the eighteenth century. L'Heritier de Brutelle was an amateur botanist of unusual abilities and resources. Luckily, he persuaded the young Redoute to make fifty-four drawings for his 'magnum opus'. The book is splendid in its spacious descriptions, its charming exotic plates, its implications for taxonomic history; and fascinating as an imposing piece of eighteenth-century bookmaking, with its series of fascicles printed on broadsheets, its bibliographical algebra. It is in 'Stirpes novae' that Luxemburg-born Pierre Joseph Redoute (1759-1840) emerges as an extraordinary botanical artist. He had the great good luck to have the very fine Dutch artist Gerrit van Spaendonck (1746-1822) as his master in drawing, and L'Heritier de Brutelle as his instructor in 'choses botaniques". - Erste Ausgabe. - 1805 erschienen posthum noch drei weitere Lieferungen mit Tafeln aus dem Nachlass von L'Heritier. - S. 29-36 fehlen, Fasciculus 5 vor 4 eingebunden, ab S. 75 Seitenzahl verdruckt. Breitrandiges, unbeschnittenes Exemplar auf festem Papier. Fingerfleckig (Titel stärker) und leicht angestaubt, teilweise kl. Randeinrisse (max. 3 cm, ausserhalb des Textes/ der Darstellung).
