HOOLA VAN NOOTEN, Berthe (fl. 1863-1885). Fleurs, Fruits et Feuillages choisis de la flore et de la pomone de l'Ile de Java... Second edition . Brussels: Faubourg de Louvain, 1866.
HOOLA VAN NOOTEN, Berthe (fl. 1863-1885). Fleurs, Fruits et Feuillages choisis de la flore et de la pomone de l'Ile de Java... Second edition . Brussels: Faubourg de Louvain, 1866. 2 o (540 x 395 mm). Text in English and French. 39 (of 40, lacking plate 13, the Amaranthus Tricolor ) chromolithographed plates by G. Severeyns after Berthe Hoola van Nooten (some light spotting, mostly affecting text leaves). Contemporary blue morocco gilt (scuffed, rebacked). Second edition of this spectacular selection of plates by Berthe Van Nooten, a latter-day Maria Sibylla Merian They depict a mixture of indigenous, naturalized and introduced plants and include shrubs, flowering trees and, perhaps the most striking of all, 16 portraits of plants with edible fruits: Pomelo, Rambutan, Mangosteen, Custard-apple, Bread-fruit, Mango, Bananas, Star-fruit, and Papaya among others. Van Nooten accompanied her husband to Jakarta on Java, where he died. "Van Nooten was clearly more than competent, for the splendid tropical plants... have been depicted with great skill. She managed to accentuate the splendour of each species by adopting a style that combined great precision and clarity with a touch of neo-Baroque exuberance, revelling in the rich forms and colours of the tropics" ( An Oak Spring Flora 87). Nissen BBI 931; Stafleu & Cowan TL2 3025.
