Its discontinuance lead William's Ayres (1815-1875; nurseryman, specialist in Pelargoniums; holder of patents for hot houses ) and Thomas Moore (1821 - 1887 gardener of Regents Park, London 1844-1847; curator of the Botanic Garden, Chelsea from 1848; author of many books on ferns and orchids and botany) to launch the Gardeners' Magazine of Botany. This rare magazine was superbly presented and only ran from January 1850 to December 1851. Its aim was to furnish the amateur and professional gardener with trustworthy information on subjects connected with the science of his art. A higher objective was aimed at the physiological principles on which the gardening art was founded. In the concluding remarks of 1851, the authors state that "the ground they had taken had been too high and that they had overlooked that the professional gardeners to whom the publication was principally addressed did not always possess the monthly half crown to meet the price of the periodical. Also that those seeking scientific information and technical botany are more limited in number than anticipated." As a result, the publication terminated in December 1851. It was beautifully illustrated with primarily coloured full page plates primarily of flowers but also including fruits (5 coloured full page plates) and insects (2 coloured full page plates). There were also 11 superb full page uncoloured drawings of ferns. The text was profusely illustrated with many excellent and varied wood engravings including plants, garden layouts, garden features and garden structures. This superb set has been in my private collection for many years and is amongst my favourites. It is now available because it has been replaced by another set in similar condition but in even more spectacular contemporary full leather binding. Detailed Condition Statement: Matching full leather contemporary bindings with minor professional refurbishment - bound in 3 volumes. 5 raised bands bound by Culkin and Budd - Booksellers to her Majesty, 18 Pall Mall. 4 gilt motifs on spine plus 2 gilt titles.

2 volumes, 4to. (10.2 x 7.2 in.; 26 x 18.4 cm.). Tinted lithographic extra title to volume 1, numerous wood-engraved vignettes in the text, 70 hand-colored lithographic plates of flowers, fruits, and insects, 11 uncolored plates of ferns by S. Holden or C.T. Rosenberg, printed by C.H. Cheffins; volumes 1 and 2 of 3 only, occasional minor soiling not affecting plates, gathering P loose in volume 2. Contemporary half green morocco, cloth boards, edges gilt; rubbed. AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF HORTICULTURAL JOURNALISM. Thomas Moore, the curator of the Botanic Garden at Chelsea, intended this publication for professional gardeners. It survived for two years with a total of 100 plates being published between January 1850 and December 1851, but closed due to a lack of subscribers. The preface to volume three (lacking in this set) notes that "the fact was to some extent overlooked that [the professional gardener].did not always possess a means of spending his monthly half-crown on one periodical, however high his appreciation of it might be. Experience has further shown.that among gardeners, the numbers who seek for Scientific Information and Technical Botany are a limited class.". Unshaken in his committment to horticultural journalism, Moore went on to serve as the editor of the Garden Companion and Florists' Guide in 1852, the Floral Magazine in 1860-1861, the Gardeners' Chronicle from 1866 to 1882 (with John Lindley), the Florist and Pomologist from 1868 to 1874, and the Orchid Album from 1881 to 1887 (DNB). PROVENANCE: with ink ownership signatures on front pastedowns of "R.T. Matthiesen, 1976, and [illegible].
