Leiden: Apud Auctorem or in Horto Sieboldiano acclimatationis dicto, 1835-70. 4 volumes, 2 o (415 x 315 mm). Half-title, pictorial lithographed title (dated 1826), lithographed dedication, 147 (of 151) hand-colored lithographed plates (numbered 1-150 and 124bis, plates 11, 70, 90 and 137 supplied in photographic reproduction, 124bis uncolored) after S.

Siebold, a German physician, natural scientist and orientalist, entered the service of the Dutch East India Company V.O.C. and was sent to Dejima, the artificial island next to Nagasaki, in 1823. There, he served as both a physician and botanist, and his wide-ranging studies added enormously to European knowledge of the country; he stayed in Japan until 1830. The work was published as 2 volumes in 30 parts. The first part of volume 1 was published in December 1835, and publication was complete when parts 19 and 20 were issued in June 1841. Parts 1-5 of the second volume were issued between 1842 and 1844; the final 5 parts were issued in 1870 by F.A.W. Miquel, director of the Rijksherbarium in Leiden. The pictorial title and dedication are not found in all copies and are of interest. The title shows the monument erected by Siebold in memory of Kaempfer and Thunberg, his predecessors in the scientific study of the Japanese flora, on the island of Dezima where the Dutch were once confined. The dedication is to Anna Paulowna, wife of William II of the Netherlands. Both the lithographed title and dedication bear "Nippon" imprint indicating that these were printed in Japan. Plates 141-150 are labled "151-160" and corrected by hand, as called for in Stafleu-Cowan.
