Hardcover/Hardback. Condición: Fine. 1980. In Folio. [1] f.e., pp. xi, [18] leaves, [1] r.e., [10] plates. San Francisco. John Windle Publishing Co. (Edward Bosqui & Co.). Publisher's deluxe deep red quarter morocco over cloth boards, gilt-lettered and decorated spine, top edge gilt, marbled endpapers, preserved in the original matching slipcase. Unbound text and plate leaves clean and supple throughout, without any foxing or toning. Vivid plates. An excellent copy. Limited-edition facsimile (no. 141 of 300) of the impossibly rare volume representing the first color illustrations of California grape varieties published in the state, produced in the great tradition of the San Francisco printing industry and, above all, the first organized effort to describe California vines in the technical language of European ampelography. Originally issued in 1877 by Edward Bosqui & Co. in parts to subscribers, the work was commissioned by the California State Vinicultural [sic] Association to document the state's rapidly expanding vineyards, with the varietal descriptions widely attributed to the pioneering viticulturist Arpad Haraszthy. Appearing at the moment when California sought to establish itself alongside the great wine regions of Europe, it applied the rigorous descriptive methods of French and German ampelography to local grape varieties while showcasing the remarkable capabilities of San Francisco's lithographic industry. The printing itself was an extraordinary technical achievement: the plate of Johannisberg Riessling alone required twenty-eight separate lithographic stones, and the work received international recognition at the 1878 Paris Exposition. The original edition comprised only 65 sets, the lithographic stones being destroyed after printing. In 1980, San Francisco bookseller John Windle produced a facsimile from the copy preserved at the Lilly Library. The colophon announces an edition of 300 copies, and these facsimiles have themselves become increasingly scarce on the market. The present copy is no. 141. The original work and the history of its facsimile reproductions were selected as no. 34A in the Zamorano Select list of 2010, recognizing 120 works that characterize California's culture and history between 1870 and 1980. Ref. Zamorano Select (2010), no. 34A; Bosqui, E., Memoirs (1952 reprint), p. 178 for the 1877 ed. The volume opens with Kevin Starr's introduction before reproducing the original preface, which presents the work as California's answer to the great French and German ampelographies of Victor Rendu and the Rhenish academies. Rather than merely borrowing European classifications, the authors set out to prove that California possessed a viticulture worthy of scientific description in its own right. The varietal accounts, attributed to Arpad Haraszthy, follow a rigorous botanical sequence (cane, bark, internodes, leaf, petiole, tendril, cluster, berry, and place of cultivation) transforming vineyard observation into standardized ampelographic description. The ten superb oleographic plates, after Hannah Millard's watercolors, and printed by Wm. Harring, depict the Mission Grape, Emperor, Flame Tokay, Johannisberg Riessling (sic), Zinfandel, Catawba, Rose Chasselas, White Muscat of Alexandria, Black Hamburgh, and Sultana. Beyond their visual beauty, they preserve a remarkable snapshot of California viticulture while its identity was still being formed. Names, origins, and classifications remained unsettled: Flame Tokay is carefully distinguished from the Hungarian wine grape, while Sultana is traced from Persia and Afghanistan through its introduction by the United States Patent Office under the Oriental name Kishmish. Even familiar varieties appear almost as new discoveries. Millard, Hannah (ilustrador).…
