REDOUTÉ, Pierre-Joseph (1759-1840) and Claude-Antoine THORY (1759-1827). Les Roses peintes par P.J. Redouté... décrites par C.A. Thorry [sic.]. Paris: C. L. F. Panckoucke, 1824[-1826]. 3 volumes in two, 8 o (234 x 150 mm). Letterpress title, half-title, 160 stipple-engraved plates, printed in colors and finished by hand, by Chardin, Langlois, Lemaire and others after Redouté, 4pp. contemporary manuscript index bound in at front of each volume, plates numbered. (Some occasional staining, a few plates trimmed closely affecting captions.) 19th-century green morocco gilt, gilt edges (spines evenly faded, some rubbing to spines and corners. Provenance : Mary Lind (name on front free endpaper). FIRST OCTAVO EDITION of the Roses with expanded text bound from the original 40 livraisons. The present copy appears to correspond with the edition cited by Stafleu. Later issues were bound in three volumes with appropriately numbered title-pages. The success of the folio edition prompted the present octavo edition. The text was much revised and gives more information about the culture of the rose than the first edition. According to the prospectus (not present here) this issue appeared monthly in 40 livraisons at 3fr. 50 each with each part containing four plates. The plates "réduites et gravées de nouveau par les habiles artistes, seront toutes également bien coloriaees sous les yeux de M. Redouté". Dunthorne 233; Hunt Redoutéana 40; Nissen BBI 1599; Stafleu & Cowan 8749. (2)
