MAYER, Johann Prokrop (1737-1804)
Pomona Franconica. Description des Arbres Fruitiers [...oder natürliche Abbildung und Beschreibung der besten und vorzüglichen Europäischen Gattungen der Obstbäume und Früchte welche in dem Hochfürstlichen Hofgarten zu Würzburg gezogen werden]. Nuremberg: Adam Wolfgang Winterschmidt, 1776-1779.
A fine copy in contemporary red morcco of the first edition of the finest series of German fruit illustrations ever published. 'A delightful and charming work' (Dunthorne) with highly finished plates, some of the best 18th-century illustrations of fruit. The first 2 volumes comprise all the fruits with the exception of apples and pears, which appear in the third volume which was published 21 years later in 1801, and is often wanting. Mayer states in the introduction to the Pomona Franconica that he had first intended to produce only a catalogue raisonné of the different fruit cultivated in the court garden and to illustrate it with 'illuminated' copper-engravings, but that he was then persuaded by 'lovers of gardening' to write a systematic treatise on the cultivation of fruit trees. Dunthorne 220; Nissen BBI 1318; Pritzel 6017; Raphael Oak Spring Pomona 51 (volumes I and II only); Stafleu & Cowan TL2 5748.
2 volumes (of 3), quarto (253 x 198mm). Engraved frontispiece, engraved folding plan of the garden in Würzburg, 10 engraved vignettes, 99 handcoloured engraved plates of apricots, almonds, plums, cherries, medlars, peaches and 11 uncoloured engravings of pruning and shaping trees as issued by and after Adam Wolfgang Winterschmidt (occasional faint browning to text). Contemporary red morocco, covers with gilt fillet border and floral cornerpieces, gilt spines in 6 compartments with with tan morocco lettering-pieces in second and third compartments, marbled endpapers, gilt turn-ins and edges. Provenance: Richard Hare (of Bath, ink ownership inscriptions in an early 19th-century hand) – Robert Lionel Foster (bookplate and ownership inscription).
