Economy International shipping unavailable due to size/weight restrictions. For international/expedited customers, please inquire for rates]. The extraordinary magnum opus of Henry Frederick Conrad Sander, a German-born orchidologist who spent much of his career in England. Sander named the collection after Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach, a fellow German and fellow orchidologist, and drew heavily on Reichebach's work for the text in this collection. The majority of the life-size plates are based on watercolors by Henry George Moon, who eventually became Sander's son-in-law. Although Reichenbachia was not the first collaboration between Moon and Sanders (they first met in 1884, when Moon visited Sander's orchid nursery to make drawings for another publication), it is the work for which they are both most famous. The blocks on Moon's watercolors were hand-made out of wood, and the chromolithographs produced from them sometimes required as many as twenty inks; once the printing was completed, many of the plates were individually hand-finished. As a result, the work was fantastically expensive to print, reportedly costing well over £7,000 (over $1.2 million today). 1348849. Special Collections - Upstairs.

FIRST EDITION, BOUND FROM THE ORIGINAL MONTHLY PARTS, OF THIS "IMPORTANT AND AUTHORITATIVE WORK FOR ORCHID GROWERS" (Great Flower Books). Sander named this superb book of life-sized, vibrantly coloured images of orchids after Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach (1824-1889), the celebrated botanist who was renowned for his collection and study of orchids. Tragically Reichenbach died before publication of the original parts was complete, and he did not go quietly. Dying at the height of orchid mania Reichenbach bequeathed in his will his entire herbarium and library to the natural history museum in Vienna, on the condition that the preserved orchids and orchid drawings in his collection were not to be consulted for 25 years after his death. So adamant was he on this point, that his will states that should Vienna refuse the collection that a short list of subsequent institutions must comply with the same condition. So a generation of orchidologists was denied all the opportunities that studying Reichenbach's lifetime's achievements should have provided. Sander, originally from Germany founded an extremely successful horticultural business Sander & Co, specialising in orchids in St. Albans in 1881, "which would become the most important nineteenth century orchid nursery in England. Sander was joined by his sons and the company was known by several names, the most frequent being Sander & Sons. At its peak it employed some twenty orchid collectors in South and Central America, New Guinea, Myanmar and Malaysia, and opened branches of the firm in the United States and Belgium. The cost was enormous and Sander later remarked that the project almost ruined him. Most of the plates were prepared by H.G. Moon (1857-1905), who would later marry Sander's daughter. Euanthe sanderiana (Rchb. f.) Schltr. is one of many orchids named in Sander's honour and the eponymous Calathea sanderiana (Sander) Gentil was originally published in the commercial catalogue (1894) of Sander & Co. as Maranta sanderiana Sander. Faced with the problem of rapidly growing numbers of names for orchid hybrids, chaotic usage and lack of standards, the company was innovative in introducing an international registration system for grex nomenclature in 1895, one of the earliest such nomenclatural standards in the world. From 1961 the system was transferred to the Royal Horticultural Society and managed as The International Orchid Register, containing over 100,000 grex names. The company sent specimens of cultivated or wild-collected plants to BM and K over many years, for identification or as voucher specimens, and numerous live plants went to Kew (1880-1910)" (Natural History Museum online).

In den WarenkorbImperial edition, copy 51 of 100 copies signed by Sander. Published during the heyday of the late Victorian orchid mania, Sander was the foremost authority on the Orchidaceae, as well as the largest grower, maintaining nurseries in England, Belgium, and the United States. He had agents gathering plants worldwide, often dangerous… work, and he reports in the description of one orchid: "Orchidists are familiar with the names of Wallis, Endrès, Klaboch, Falkenberg, Schröder, Arnold, Douglas, and others, who have died in the cause of botanical science". He named the work in honor of Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach, a natural historian whose province was orchids (Reichenbach's library, drawing and specimens are in the Naturhistorisches Museum of Vienna). The illustrations are largely after the work of Henry George Moon, and these are of great elegance. The colour plates in this Imperial edition are of the same size as those of the regular unlimited edition, but were issued mounted to large sheets of card, and these sets were apparently intended for presentation by Sander. The distinction between these two editions is sometimes overlooked: it is an especially commanding work in this form, and also rare thus. Great Flower Books (1990) p. 135; Nissen BBI 1722; Stafleu and Cowan 10.219. 4 vols bound as 8, folio (65 x 48 cm). Nineteenth-century green half morocco, dark green cloth sides, gilt edges. 192 fine chromolithographic plates, most finished by hand with gum arabic or added colour, lithographed by Joseph Mansell, G. Leutzsch and J. L. Macfarlane after Henry Moon, W. H. Fitch, A. H. Loch, and C. Storer, occasional wood-engraved illustrations throughout the text. The plates mounted on card as issued and bound on guards, each plate protected with a tissue guard. The bindings scuffed with portions of the surface of the leather abraded, generally a very clean set internally, though with some minor discoloration from the mounting adhesive noticeable in the second volumes of the first series. Occasional trivial adhesion marks of the tissues to the plates, though in general this set has far less adhesion than frequently found. The first part of the first volume of the second series a little bumped with resultant creasing of corners of the mounts, with some embrittlement in that area.

Stately contemporary dark brown morocco, upper covers with elaborate gilt frame enclosing a gilt armorial supra libros of Peter Dowding Prankerd, raised bands, compartments lavishly gilt and with Prankerd's name stamped in gilt at tai…l of spine, all edges gilt. WITH 192 CHROMOLITHOGRAPHED PLATES OF ORCHIDS (96 in each volume) by H. G. Moon, W. H. Fitch, and A. H. Loch, many finished by hand, with new tissue guards. Front pastedowns with the bookplate of Peter Dowding Prankerd. Sitwell, "Great Flower Books," p.135; Nissen 1722. See also: Swinson, "Frederick Sander: the Orchid King" (1970). A hint of shelfwear, but the bindings sound and quite lustrous. Occasional light scattered foxing internally (including a handful of plates), several plates with expert (virtually indistinguishable) repairs to small patches of color (where the tissue guards were sticking--a common problem with this work), but overall AN EXTREMELY APPEALING COPY of a work often found in very disagreeable shape. Imposingly large and impressively illustrated, the present volumes reflect the collective efforts of one of the most successful nursery owners in England, a leading 19th century orchidologist, and a devoted landscape and botanical artist. German émigré Henry Sander (1847-1920) was the owner of a highly successful nursery located in St. Albans that catered, above all, to the orchid market. At the height of his business, Sander was the royal orchid grower to Queen Victoria, built over 60 greenhouses to house his orchid imports, and employed collectors in remote areas across the globe, including parts of Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, Madagascar, New Guinea, and Burma. Sitwell calls the present work "an important and authoritative work for orchid growers," while Swinson goes into further detail about the monumentality of the undertaking: "By modern standards the work was of monstrous size. . . . Where the orchid was concerned, Sander never spared himself, but even so, the care lavished on the Reichenbachia still provokes astonishment. Apart from the elegance of Moon's drawings, the technical standards would have been a tribute to any large printing house. The blocks were hand-made, out of wood; and the chromolithographs were produced by the use of as many as twenty inks. The cost to Sander was enormous, and it is said to have been well over £7,000 [about £850,000 today]. . . . It is no wonder that Sander often remarked in later years that the project almost ruined him." Although Sander is considered the "author" here, most of the descriptions for this work were provided by the eponymous Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach (1824-89), considered to be the greatest orchid taxonomist of his day and the possessor of one of the finest herbariums in Europe. Reichenbach died before the publication was finished, leaving the project to be finished by Sander and his chief artist, H. G. Moon. The "Reichenbachia" was delivered to subscribers in monthly parts and took seven years to complete due in large part to the meticulous level of detail involved, including hand finishing of many of the chromolithographs; the resulting effect sets it apart as one of the finest botanical productions of the period. There was also an Imperial Edition of this work printed at the same time, limited to 100 copies; it was signed by Sander and the plates mounted on oversized sheets, but it is otherwise identical to the present edition. The beauty of the plates here also means that this is a work often found disbound and broken up. The bindings here were commissioned by Peter Dowding Prankerd (1819-1902), a British businessman who made a fortune from mining and real estate in Australia. Our copy is complete, save for a single leaf of text, and is also advantageously priced in comparison to the Imperial Edition, which fetches substantially more.
