[1897]) Large folio; 74 leaves; modern half gilt-stamped dark brown calf, decorated fabric boards (J. MacDonald Co., Norwalk, Conn.).Illustrations of various plants, followed by related decorative applications of plant forms. English edition of "La plante et ses applications ornementales," issued in Paris by the Librairie Centrale des Beaux-Arts, E. Lévy, presumably simultaneously. That edition does not carry a publication date, but is assumed to be 1896/1897. A few plates are dated 1895. The introduction in both editions, signed by Grasset, is dated May 1896. The plates are usually cited as lithographed by a group of Grasset's students after his own watercolors (see Turn of the Century, cat. 49), the largest number by Verneuil. However, none of the plates are even initialled by Grasset, and he is cited only as "Editor" on the title. Both editions comprise two volumes, with 72 plates each. The MFA copy is of vol. 1 only; the only citation found is a copy in the British Library. The title indicates it was issued "in twelve monthly parts."http://collections.mfa.org/objects/459446/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/820115/resize%3Aformat%3DfullPlate from Service des plantes de la Malmaison1803–04Sèvres ManufactoryHard-paste porcelain with colored enamel and gilded decorationhttp://collections.mfa.org/objects/316344/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/820114/resize%3Aformat%3DfullPlate from Service des plantes de la Malmaison1803–04Sèvres ManufactoryHard-paste porcelain with colored enamel and gilded decorationhttp://collections.mfa.org/objects/316345/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/757230/resize%3Aformat%3DfullPlate from Service des plantes de la Malmaison1803–04Sèvres ManufactoryHard-paste porcelain with colored enamel and gilded decorationhttp://collections.mfa.org/objects/316346/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/820113/resize%3Aformat%3DfullPlate from Service des plantes de la Malmaison1803–04Sèvres ManufactoryHard-paste porcelain with colored enamel and gilded decorationhttp://collections.mfa.org/objects/316347/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/820112/resize%3Aformat%3DfullPlate from Service des plantes de la Malmaison1803–04Sèvres ManufactoryHard-paste porcelain with colored enamel and gilded decorationhttp://collections.mfa.org/objects/316350/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/820110/resize%3Aformat%3DfullPlate from Service des plantes de la Malmaison1803–04Sèvres ManufactoryHard-paste porcelain with colored enamel and gilded decorationhttp://collections.mfa.org/objects/316351/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/757231/resize%3Aformat%3DfullPlate from Service des plantes de la Malmaison1803–04Sèvres ManufactoryHard-paste porcelain with colored enamel and gilded decorationhttp://collections.mfa.org/objects/316352/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/820111/resize%3Aformat%3DfullPlate from Service des plantes de la Malmaison1803–04Sèvres ManufactoryHard-paste porcelain with colored enamel and gilded decorationhttp://collections.mfa.org/objects/316355/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/820106/resize%3Aformat%3DfullPlate from Service des plantes de la Malmaison1803–04Sèvres ManufactoryHard-paste porcelain with colored enamel and gilded decorationhttp://collections.mfa.org/objects/316358/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/820107/resize%3Aformat%3DfullPlate from Service des plantes de la Malmaison1803–04Sèvres ManufactoryHard-paste porcelain with colored enamel and gilded decorationhttp://collections.mfa.org/objects/316359/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/1024048/resize%3Aformat%3DfullPolygonatum sibiricum (Polygonatum de Sibérie) (Plate 315 from P.
