American Botanical Prints of Two Centuries. By Gavin D. R. Bridson, James J. White and Lugene B. Bruno. 2003. 239 pp.; 106 col., 8 b&w figs.; 8 x 10 1/2"; 3 lbs. Pictorial stiff paper cover, $25.00 plus shipping and handling. ISBN 0-913196-75-4.

This illustrated exhibition catalogue features two centuries of American printed plant images from utilitarian to creative, the earliest from 1806 and the most recent, 2000. Some of the 19th-century artists include George Cochran Lambdin, William Sharp, Isaac Sprague and Frederick A. Walpole; 20th-century artists include Elfriede Abbe, Henry Evans, Warren Mack, Stanley Maltzman and Barry Moser. Biographies of the artists are included. Of special interest is a concise bibliography. Virtually all of the prints described and reproduced are from the Hunt Institute’s extensive collections. This is the first catalogue for which reproduction photography was done with a digital camera, the Nikon D1X, and for which all color scanning and correction were handled at the Institute. Also, see Printmaking in the Service of Botany. Together these catalogues explore the history of botanical printmaking in Europe and America and explain the various printmaking techniques.

American Botanical Prints of Two Centuries has won the 2005 Ewell L. Newman Award. Sponsored by the American Historical Print Collectors Society, the Newman Award honors new titles that enhance understanding and appreciation for prints as part of the history and culture of North America. "This reasonably-priced reference belongs on the bookshelf of anyone who wants to know about botanical prints," says Michael McCue of Asheville, North Carolina, chair of the award jury. The Newman Award, which comes with a prize of $500, was awarded 14 May in Springfield, Massachusetts, at the society's 2005 annual conference. The award is funded by an endowment in memory of Ewell L. Newman, a founder of the American Historical Print Collectors Society, which fosters the collection, preservation, and study of prints produced from the beginning of the 17th century through the 19th century. The society's Web site (www.ahpcs.org) includes an index of Imprint, its journal of the field, as well as a chronicle of the past distinguished winners of the Newman Award.

Botanical Results of the Sessé & Mociño Expedition (1787–1803) VII. A Guide to Relevant Scientific Names of Plants. By Rogers McVaugh. 2000. v, 626 pp.; 8 3/4 x 11 1/4"; 4 lbs. Cloth bound, $55.00 plus shipping and handling. ISBN 0-913196-68-1.

This is an annotated list of about 7500 names of plants (mostly Latin binomials) that have been generated during the last 200 years as a result of the activities of an official Spanish expedition (devoted to natural history) that began its work in Mexico in 1787 and closed out its work in the New World in 1803. The relevant names, whether officially published or existing only as manuscript names, are those that usefully can be documented to some degree, in order that a researcher may hope to identify the plant to which a name applies. Identification of the plants may be possible if their original geographic source is known, if an associated carefully drawn description, detailed illustration or a preserved specimen is available, or from a combination of the above.

Documentation may consist of a reference to a specific locality associated with the name, e.g., on a label with an herbarium specimen, or indirectly by a reference to one of the more than 400 numbered illustrations (icones) that were cited in the posthumous works of the Expedition's botanists, published 1887–1894. A very important contribution to documentation is the sum of the new names that have been based on the Expedition's materials during the two centuries that have elapsed since the collections were returned to Europe.

Scientifically the Royal Botanical Expedition to New Spain was of extraordinary potential importance. Before 1800 the scientists of the Expedition had explored more widely in tropical and subtropical North America than any previous European travelers of their ilk, and always with the primary aim of producing a great new illustrated Flora Mexicana. If a summary account of the Expedition had been published when the surviving scientists returned to Europe, in the form they envisaged, it would have been a major contribution to our knowledge of the plants of tropical America.

The botanical materials gathered by the Expedition in America over many years, including descriptions, observations, illustrations, and herbarium specimens, went their several ways in the early years of the 19th century. The botanical community was scarcely aware of their existence, and even then thought of them as disparate units, of some inherent scientific interest but without any perceived relationship to the work of a real Expedition, or to one another. The illustrations became relatively well known because of the work of A. P. de Candolle and were commonly attributed to Mociño, who had brought them to the attention of de Candolle. Many duplicate specimens in Lambert's herbarium were studied and reported upon as from the herbarium of Sessé & Mociño, but at the same time many exactly equivalent specimens in other herbaria were being wrongly attributed to Pavón. The connection between the illustrations (which were in de Candolle's collection in Geneva) and the duplicate specimens distributed by Pavón (which by 1845 had become dispersed to a number of herbaria) was not well understood. The original herbarium of Sessé & Mociño, with its thousands of named specimens, remained unstudied in Madrid until after 1935. It was not generally realized until some years after the publication of Plantae Novae Hispaniae and Flora Mexicana that these works contained many hundreds, if not thousands of supposedly new names (in fact it was not until these new names were listed in the standard indexes to such names, 1929–1933). There has never been an effort to bring all this material together, collate the data from different sources, and estimate the scientific value of the whole.

In the closing years of the 20th century, almost every serious publication on the taxonomy of tropical American plants, or on the floristics of the same region, began to include notice of these Sessé & Mociño names and to cite them in publication, often erroneously or in doubt of the history of the name, or of the proper identity of the associated plant or its geographical origin. It is our hope that this Guide will serve to answer many such questions, and enable botanists to think of the Royal Botanical Expedition as the great enterprise that it actually was, and one that is continuing to contribute mightily to our knowledge of tropical American plants. Also, see the Torner Collection of Sessé & Mociño Biological Illustrations CD-ROM for related information.

This fully illustrated catalogue accompanies the Hunt Institute exhibition that has been extended through 30 June 2010. Botanicals: Environmental Expressions in Art, the Alisa and Isaac M. Sutton Collection represents one of the finest private collections of contemporary botanical art in America. These 54 artworks are expressions of the purely aesthetic forms found in nature and a reminder that we are stewards of our natural resources for future generations.

Isaac Sutton’s love of nature and concern for the environment led him to a crossroads in his collection. Since the 1980s he had been acquiring landscape paintings that were reminiscent of his childhood summers spent in the mountains of Lebanon and his early adult years in Israel. In 1997 he was introduced to botanical art through The Shirley Sherwood Collection of Contemporary Botanical Art exhibition at the National Arts Club in New York. He was struck by the artistic virtuosity of the paintings and felt an immediate connection to the plant subjects portrayed. Soon after he began to develop his own collection in this genre while discovering the work of artists in the triennial International Exhibition of Botanical Art & Illustration at the Hunt Institute, in the annual exhibits of the American Society of Botanical Artists (ASBA) at the Horticultural Society of New York, and in galleries and botanical gardens in the United States and abroad.

Isaac Sutton collects botanical art for its aesthetic impact. He appreciates an artist’s ability to capture not only the beauty of a plant specimen but also its distinct form and function with scientific accuracy while filtering it through his or her own sensibility. Over time he has become interested in how the subjects of the paintings represent an important part of our ecosystem. The title of the exhibit, Botanicals: Environmental Expressions in Art, echoes the role that the botanical artist plays in documenting rare and endangered plants and common plants that play an important role in our planet’s biodiversity. Also of importance is the role that the collector and the museum play in supporting and validating the vision of these botanical artists by sharing it with the public through exhibitions. Sutton feels that botanical art should be recognized as a melding of art and science that both inspires and educates.

The exhibition and catalogue include 54 artworks by 40 artists from Australia, Belgium, Cuba, England, France, Germany, India, Japan, Russia, Scotland, South Africa and the United States. The artists are Beverly Allen, Timothy Angell, Anita Barley, Leslie Berge, Susannah Blaxill, Svetlana Boucher, Beverly Duncan, Jean Emmons, Damodar Lal Gurjar, Regine Hagedorn, Celia Hegedüs, Kyoto Katayama, Martha Kemp, Karen Kluglein, Katie Lee, Angela Lober, David Mackay, Fiona McGlynn, Elaine Musgrave, Kate Nessler, Patricia Newman, Susan Ogilvy, Hillary Landemare Parker, John Pastoriza-Piñol, Rachel Pedder-Smith, Rodella Purves, Kelly Leahy Radding, Celia Rosser, Adèle Rossetti Morosoni, James Sain, Lizzie Sanders, Muriel Sandler, Hiroe Sasaki, Alan Singer, Peta Stockton, Jessica Tcherepnine, Vicki Thomas, Bronwyn Van de Graaff, Catherine Watters and Carol Woodin.

Sutton; “Overview of a collection” by Susan Frei Nathan of Susan Frei Nathan Fine Works on Paper; and “Integrating the garden and art collections” by Alice Marcus Krieg of Groundworks Inc. Hunt Institute Acting Curator of Art Lugene B. Bruno designed the catalogue. Hunt Institute Graphics Manager Frank A. Reynolds did the reproduction photography with the Nikon D1X and the Sony A900 digital cameras. The catalogue was printed with soy ink on mixed sources paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.

Categorical Glossary for the Flora of North America Project.
By Robert W. Kiger and Duncan M. Porter. 2001. 165 pp.; 8 1/2 x 11"; 1 lb. Stiff paper cover, $5.00 plus shipping and handling. ISBN 0-913196-70-3.

This selective glossary attempts to reconcile, integrate, and codify the traditional terminology of plant-taxonomic description, and should be especially useful for computer-based comparative databanking of such information. It covers a high proportion of the total complement of structures, characters, and character states pertinent to detailed conventional description of the morphology and higher-level anatomy of plants other than algae. The main body of the glossary is organized alphabetically by term and includes both descriptands and descriptors. Defined in the glossary are 2,627 terms. Following that is a conspectus which lists the terms by category and indicates their synonyms, and which makes it easier to survey and choose from among the slate of terms applicable in a given category.

The Healing Plants of Ida Hrubesky Pemberton
By James J. White, Lugene B. Bruno, with essays by Carolyn Crawford and Victoria Matthews. 2003. 64 pp.; 51 color, 1 b&w figs.; 7 1/2 x 10"; 12 oz. Pictorial stiff paper cover, $12.00 plus shipping and handling. ISBN 0-913196-76-2.

This catalogue, accompanying an exhibition displayed at the Hunt Institute from 25 September 2003 to 29 February 2004, is the first published monograph on the watercolors of Ida Hrubesky Pemberton (1890–1951), who was working in a period when there were few other female American botanical artists. Only 64 finished paintings (held in the collection of the University of Colorado, Boulder) exist by this little-known Denver artist, and they were produced between 1935 and 1942. Many were native plants that she grew from seed in her garden and that had a medicinal or other useful quality. Her familiarity with all aspects of the plant subjects that she "lived with" is obvious. Many of her watercolors include dissections (painted with the aid of a microscope), root structure, and stages of development of the plant. Her work is confident, without appearing overworked, and represents the essence of the plant for identification in a pleasing composition. This illustrated exhibition catalogue includes a biographical essay by botanical artist, plant taxonomist and field botanist Carolyn Crawford, who was greatly inspired by Ida Pemberton’s work, as well as an essay on Pemberton’s technique by horticultural taxonomist and editor Victoria Matthews. Also included are 45 color images of Pemberton’s paintings, photo portraits, endpaper and cover designs for a proposed book on drug plants, and a comprehensive list of all of her botanical artwork held at the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History.

Index to Scientific Names of Organisms Cited in the Linnaean Dissertations together with a Synoptic Bibliography of the Dissertations and a Concordance for Selected Editions. By Robert W. Kiger, Charlotte A. Tancin and Gavin D. R. Bridson. 1999. iii, 300 pp.; 6 b&w figs.; 8 3/4 x 11 1/4"; 3 lbs. Cloth bound, $40.00 plus shipping and handling. ISBN 0-913196-67-3.

In addition to his many accomplishments, the famous Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus served as praeses for numerous students when they defended academic dissertations during the period 1743–1776. The Index to Scientific Names is a reference resource on these dissertations and the scientific names that appear in them. The Index accounts for over 30,700 occurrences of more than 13,900 different formal names of plant and animal taxa that appear in the original editions of the 186 Linnaean dissertations, and is intended to serve as a finding aid. To complement the Index, we have included a detailed list of these original dissertations, giving Lidén reference numbers, respondents' names, dissertation titles, dates of defense, pagination, and various short titles by which they have been cited.

Following their original publication as individual items, the Linnaean dissertations were collected and reprinted in several editions, generally known as the Amoenitates academicae. To make the Index more widely applicable, a concordance to some of these editions is also provided, enabling the researcher to locate citations in later editions whose continuous pagination does not match that of the original, individual dissertations.

The publication also includes a historical overview and bibliography of the Amoenitates academicae. Our hope is that researchers who want to consult the Linnaean dissertations will now have an easier time doing so, and in the process may find themselves intrigued by this group of scientific writings.

Inspiration and Translation: Botanical and Horticultural Lithographs of Joseph Prestele and Sons. By James J. White, Lugene B. Bruno and Susan H. Fugate. 2005. 84 pp.; 75 color, 2 b&w figs.; 7 1/2 x 10''; 14 oz. Pictorial stiff paper cover, $18.00 plus shipping and handling. ISBN 0-913196-80-0.

This catalogue accompanies a collaborative exhibition between the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation and the National Agricultural Library (Beltsville, Maryland). Inspiration and Translation: Botanical and Horticultural Lithographs of Joseph Prestele and Sons runs from 11 September to 22 December 2005 at the Institute and from 1 March through 31 May 2006 at the National Agricultural Library. Joseph Prestele (1796–1867) was a flower painter and a master of lithography, the technique of engraving on stone. Skilled in painting and botany, he produced work of aesthetic and scientific value. His three sons, Joseph Jr. (1824–1880s), Gottlieb (1827–1892) and William Henry (1838–1895), followed in his artistic, but not all in his religious, footsteps.

The catalogue includes the following essays: "The inspiration of an exhibition" by James J. White, Curator of Art, Hunt Institute; "The inspiration of William Henry Prestele as seen through the collections of the National Agricultural Library" by Peter R. Young, Director, and Susan H. Fugate, Head of Special Collections, National Agricultural Library, United States Department of Agriculture; "Recollections of a Prestele descendant" by Marcelee Konish; "Joseph Prestele: Art for the sake of the community" by Lanny R. Haldy, Executive Director, Amana Heritage Society; "A note on Prestele's lithographic technique" by Gavin D. R. Bridson, Bibliographer, Hunt Institute; and "Joseph Prestele and sons: A legacy of botanical illustration" by Adrian Higgins, Garden Editor, Washington Post. Assistant Curator of Art Lugene Bruno wrote additional text and designed the catalogue. Graphics Manager Frank A. Reynolds did the reproduction photography with a Nikon D1X digital camera.

Plant Taxonomic Database Standards.
This series presents standards for formatting botanical data, prepared by the International Working Group on Taxonomic Databases for Plant Sciences (TDWG) to promote wider and more effective collaboration, dissemination and exchange of information among plant taxonomic databases.

R. K. Brummitt with assistance from F. Pando, S. Hollis, N. A. Brummitt and others. 2001. xv, 137 pp.; 17 maps; 8 1/2 x 11"; 1 lb. Stiff paper cover. $10.00 plus shipping and handling. ISBN 0-913196-72-X.

This scheme meets the need for a standard yet adaptable system of geographical units for use in recording plant distributions and arranging specimens. Because a purely political arrangement cannot meet all the needs of botanists, the scheme's arrangement compromises between a politically and a phytogeographically oriented system. It identifies geographic units worldwide in a four-level hierarchy, incorporating continents, regions, provinces and countries. Each geographical unit at each level has its own numeric or alphanumeric code. The scheme is presented in five tables, the recognized geographical units are shown in 17 maps, and a gazetteer relates over 2,100 names to the overall system.

The second edition comes some nine years after the first, and, inevitably includes some changes. Although the need for stability has been a major consideration, political realignments have forced new concepts. Some of these have necessitated changes at national level, such as the segregation of Eritrea from Ethiopia and division of Czechoslovakia into Czech Republic and Slovakia. Others are due to the recognition of new administrative units within larger countries, such as Nunavut in Canada, Uttaranchal in India and Chongqing in China. A few changes also have been made in order to make better phytogeographical sense, such as the separation of all Himalayan states from the main body of India, and the uniting of New Guinea and the Solomons to form Papuasia. Others are merely a matter of nomenclature brought about by political name changes. All innovations in the second edition are tabulated to assist database managers in adapting to the new edition.

Ex Libris Carnegie Mellon is a limited-edition suite of 12 frameable reproductions of decorative and unusual images selected from distinguished illustrated works of history, science and technology. Six of the reproductions are from the Library of the Hunt Institute and six are from the collections of the University Libraries (the Fine and Rare Book Rooms and the Architecture Archives) of Carnegie Mellon University.

A decorative portfolio protects the interleaved set of plates, and a title page lists the title and citation for each of the images. Each set is hand-numbered. Four of the plates measure approximately twenty inches in height by fifteen inches; eight are fifteen by ten inches.

The reproductions are printed on a 100% rag, laid paper that was handmade in the late 1950s by J. Barcham Greene & Son at the Hayle Mill in Maidenstone, Kent, England. The paper was commissioned by Rachel McMasters Miller Hunt and bears a custom watermark. This type of paper is acid-free and will not become brittle or darken with age. The images are printed in black with crimson ruled borders.

The portfolio of 12 plates sells for $300. A limited number of extra prints (#1–6) from the Hunt Institute collection are available for sale on an individual basis. Numbers 1, 2, 4 and 5 are $20.00 each plus tax. Numbers 3 and 6 are $30.00 each plus tax. Add $14.00 for shipping and handling for the portfolio or the individual prints.

Botanical Watercolors from the Nationaal Herbarium Nederland. By James J. White and Lugene B. Bruno with essays by Pieter Baas and Erik A. de Jong. 2004. 64 pp.; 50 col., 1 b&w figs.; 7 1/2 x 10"; 12 oz. Pictorial stiff paper cover, Free plus shipping and handling. ISBN 0-913196-77-0.

This fully illustrated catalogue accompanies a Hunt Institute exhibition of 48 watercolors and drawings from the 17th to 19th centuries on loan from the collection of the Nationaal Herbarium Nederland, Leiden University branch, Leiden. Never before seen in North America, this selection represents artists such as Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759–1840), Abraham Munting (1626–1683), Laurens Jacobs van der Vinne (1712–1742), Johan Christian Peter Arkenhausen (1784–1855), Carel Boschart Voet (1670–1743), and Nicholas Meerburgh (1734–1814). These artworks depict plants from Southeast Asia, the Mediterranean, North America, and particularly South Africa. Some of the paintings were made from specimens in the botanical garden developed at Leiden University in the early 1590s; others were acquired by two 18th-century collectors associated with the university, which now coordinates activities of the Nationaal Herbarium Nederland.

The catalogue also includes a history of the Leiden Botanic Garden by Pieter Baas, director of the herbarium, and an essay about plants as nature and art by Erik de Jong, professor and associate director of Garden History and Landscape Studies at the Bard Graduate Center for Studies in the Decorative Arts, Design, and Culture in New York.

Plant Taxonomic Database Standards.
This series presents standards for formatting botanical data, prepared by the International Working Group on Taxonomic Databases for Plant Sciences (TDWG) to promote wider and more effective collaboration, dissemination and exchange of information among plant taxonomic databases.

No. 3. Plant Names in Botanical Databases. Frank A. Bisby. 1994. viii, 30 pp.; 8 1/2 x 11"; 6 oz. Stiff paper cover, free plus shipping and handling. ISBN 0-913196-62-2.

This standard clarifies how to determine what information is needed in order to specify scientific plant names and how to organize those names for botanical databasing purposes. Because databasing needs vary, this standard is flexible. It is divided into four variants or levels, and so it provides a scale of options for rendering plant names according to the degree of specificity needed. It identifies the elements that need to be considered — taxa, names elements (species, species aggregate, intergeneric hybrids and graft chimaeras, interspecific hybrids and graft chimaeras, intraspecific categories, subspecies, variety, cultivar), author strings, classes of names, and reference citations — and provides recommendations. This standard is useful for taxonomic reference databasing but may also meet the databasing needs of natural-history societies, nature reserves and conservation centers. Includes references and appendices.

Printmaking in the Service of Botany. By Gavin D. R. Bridson and Donald E. Wendel with the assistance of James J. White. 1986. 166 pp.; 41 col., 199 b&w figs.; 8 x 10 1/2"; 2 lbs. Embossed stiff paper cover, free plus shipping and handling. ISBN 0-913196-49-5.

Gavin Bridson, bibliographer at the Hunt Institute, explains in the introduction that before printmaking the main problem for artists was distributing botanical drawings so that botanists everywhere could study them. Bridson goes on to trace the history of printing methods for botanical illustrations through five centuries. With the aid of photographic enlargement of details in a one to one ratio, 72 examples of relief, intaglio, planographic, nature prints and photographic printing techniques are analyzed in this catalogue that accompanied a 1986 exhibition. Also, see American Botanical Prints of Two Centuries. Together these catalogues explore the history of botanical printmaking in Europe and America and explain the various printmaking techniques.
