Also, (below right) one of 45 coloured plates after Moses Harris from a copy of his Aurelian..., dated 1766 but produced c.1839, using the original blocks, as a proof for Westwood’s revised version of the following year, sold for £4500 (Marshall).
Sheldrake’s ... Herbal of Medicinal Plants
Timothy Sheldrake’s ... Herbal of Medicinal Plants is often found without a title and with fewer than the 118 plates by C.H. Emmerich after Sheldrake called for, but they have great appeal and the Phillips copy, a first issue of c.1759 with 111 coloured plates, made £5500 at Bonhams.
