 | 92 FARLOW, William Gilson & Edward Angus BURT: Icones Farlowianae. Illustrations of the larger fungi of eastern North America. With descriptive text by Edward Angus Burt. Cambridge, Massachusetts: The Farlow Herbarium and Herbarium of Harvard University 1929. Folio.
p (i-iv), v-x, (1)-120: 103 col. plates by Joseph Bridgham and Louis C. C. Krieger
Volbracht 576; Stafleu 1742; Uellner 441. -
A very beautiful work, created over a period of more than 40 years with an extraordinary effort. William Gilson Farlow was Professor for cryptogamic botany at Harvard University. He started this project in 1889 and engaged the naturalistic painter Joseph Brickham, who draw for him over a period of ten years about 303 fungi. Farlow then began to organise the complicate production of the chromolithographs. Later, many more illustrations were furnished by L. C. C. Krieger, who worked for Farlow from 1902 to 1911. Farlow died suddenly in 1919 - 103 illustrations for the book were ready, but only the introduction to the text. So Farlow's widow asked E. A. Burt in 1923 to complete the text - and the book finally came out in 1929. 500 copies were printed - the total cost of more than 50 000 Dollars would have been the equal of more than one million dollars in 1999 (cf. http://botlib.huh.harvard.edu/libraries/Farlowexhibit/creation.html)
The book has beautiful plates in folio, 23 of them are by Krieger (cf. his Mushroom handbook, p 467). Very nice copy. Small waterstain in upper margin of first plate. Original green cloth with gilt title, slightly rubbed; 35,5 x 28 cm
