  • Zalt-Bommel: Johannes Noman en Zoon, 1819
By Van Laar, Gijsbert
Zalt-Bommel: Johannes Noman en Zoon, 1819. Second Edition. Quarter Mottled Calf. Cloth boards. Near Fine. A visual feast of Rococo garden design, its pleasure pavilions, bridges, lay-outs and appurtenances such as even gondolas. Thus the title translates proximately as "A Repository of Garden Ornaments; or Collection of Models of Construction and Ornament, for Large and Small Pleasure Gardens, Chiefly such as can be made at Low Cost." N.d., but Second Edition issued in 1819. If only ..... 4to. 28.5 by 23 cm. Title leaf, half title leaf, iv pp. -- preface. Then 190 hand-colored color plates (numbered with Roman numerals), followed by 100 pp. explanation of plates, and concluding with viii pp. General Register. The work was first published in parts in Amsterdam between 1802 and 1809. Van Laar ran a tree nursery at Alkmaar. Berlin Katalog 3409. Without the 8-page "Generaal register van de tuinsieraden." Binding has light wear, mainly touches of rubbing along the edges. Generally clean within. Title page has light finger soiling, and this appears here and there, but to an even lesser extent, on some of the plates. There are a few very light dampstains in the margins of a handful of plates. The Verkaring, to Explanatory text, is conspicuously more browned and also more soiled, with some foxing. In grading the book, and relating it to the other copies we have handled and/or seen, it is a toss up between Very Good Plus and Near Fine.
