Beautiful Flowers and Fruits by P. J. Redouté 144 Color Engravings Repro 1800s

Description: Known as the Raphael of flowers and Rembrandt of roses, at the height of his powers Pierre Joseph Redout created Beautiful Flowers and Fruits. He worked on it for six years and the last of 36 installments finally appeared in 1833. He hoped for financial success, believing he would at last be able to pay his long overdue rent, taxes and many bills. Every one of his more than 6,000 watercolors and illustrations are perfect images of nature. This extraordinary coffee table art book with 144 colored engravings in reproduction is a must for the collector. Each work of art is suitable for framing if one so wished. The book is in excellent vintage condition with no creases, odors or stains. It does have one loose page, the lily shown in the photo above. Otherwise, I would consider the inner condition to be well preserved. The dust jacket has a protective coating which is peeling on the lower front and has a minuscule age related tear at top - maybe less than 1/16". The back coating has the remnents of a sticker or label. I believe this can be removed but I will leave that to the new owner. The handcover underneath the coating has no noticeable shelf wear other than a slight normal age related yellowing across the edges. The new owner might want to peel off the protective clear coating. Please look.at all photos for details and condition. The photos were taken on a very cloudy day with only natural light so they look darker than the book pages actually are. This book has been carefully tucked away in climate controlled storage since the 1990s. From my family's estate and a smoke free home. Please ask all questions before buying as all sales are final. I combine shipping. Please ask for a final invoice before paying.
