Trinity College Dublin Herbarium Library Flora Graeca Sibthorpiana

100 Objects

Flora Graeca Sibthorpiana is the earliest of the modern Floras, consisting of 10 volumes of hand-coloured engravings of the plants of Greece and Asia Minor, authored by the English botanist John Sipthorp and illustrated by the Austrian botanical artist Ferdinand Bauer. The herbarium at Trinity College Dublin owns a rare set of 97 proof plates for Flora Graeca Volume 1 (1) and Volume 1 (2), published in 1806 and 1808 respectively, and including the frontispiece with the original watercolour vignette. This sumptuous hand-coloured book is probably the most valuable and beautiful botanical book ever produced, with only 25-30 copies issued.

The proof plates in the TCD Herbarium are exquisite examples of printing and engraving, and the pencil annotations reveal the tight control exercised over its production and the changes required before final printing. This aspect of the production process has never been fully detailed, as the TCD plates have remained in a drawer unseen by any relevant scholar until now.
