Stafleu & Cowan,Taxonomic literature,IV,7554) - Nissen,2351. Dall'introduzione del 1° vol. (1834), Paxton commenta: From time immemorial Flowering Plants have been objects of especial care and delight; but probably at no period was there a greater interest exhibited, than at the present. Botanical collections are to be found in almost every part of the globe.. In consequence of these great numbers of new plants are annually introduced.. This regular annual increase, added to the stock already in this country (nearly thirty thousand).Each Number of the "Magazine of Botany" will contain four engravings of plants, of the natural size, beautifully coloured from original drawings. The letter-press will be illustrated by numerous wood-cuts of plans of flower gardens, elevations of gardens, structures, utensils and instruments necessary for florists and others who take delight in the cultivations of flowers: and also of figures representing the practical operations necessary for the proper management and full development of their several beauties; without which figures it is hardly possible to render intelligible the peculiar and requisite mode of operation. The text will comprise Botanical descriptions of plants figured; the time of their introduction; the best mode of culture; and every other particular essential to their perfect growth. Each number will also contain a Calendar of the work to be done in each month in the flower garden, including descriptions of all kinds of insects which infest flowers, with the most efficient methods for destroying them, or preventing their depredations; together with such other information as is requisite for the successful propagation of plants.Durante il periodo della pubblicazione della presente opera Joseph Paxton svolse gran parte del suo importante lavoro come sovrintendente dei giardini di Chatsworth, la residenza principale del Duca di Devonshire. "Tra il 1832 e il 1836 sovrintese alla costruzione della stufa, della serra e delle case delle orchidee, alla formazione del magnifico arboreto e alla realizzazione di molte strade immobiliari. Nel 1836 iniziò la costruzione della grande serra, alta trecento piedi di lunghezza, che fu completata nel 1840, e costituì per certi aspetti il modello per il Grande edificio espositivo del 1851. Tra il 1839 e il 1841 Paxton rimodellò il villaggio di Edensor, vicino a Chatsworth, e la sua ultima grande opera costruttiva furono le fontane. Nel 1849 riuscì a far fiorire per la prima volta in Europa la ninfea Victoria regia'".Sir Joseph Paxton (1803-1865), giardiniere, architetto, ingegnere e membro del Parlamento inglese. Appassionato coltivatore di piante esotiche (e della banana Cavendish) iniziò la sua attività di architetto attraverso il lavoro di sistemazione di giardini e costruzione di serre alle quali, dal 1828, apportò varii miglioramenti perfezionando le strutture miste ferro-vetro. Nel 1850 gli fu affidato l'incarico di costruire l'opera a cui è rimasta legata essenzialmente la sua fama: il "Palazzo di Cristallo" per l'Esposizione internazionale di Londra in Hyde Park. Per l'occasione P. studiò una gigantesca serra (circa 120 metri di larghezza e 562 di lunghezza) coperta da volte a botte di varie altezze. Il complesso, interamente costruito con pezzi prefabbricati, fu poi smontato e ricostruito a Sydenham con lievi modifiche. P. progettò inoltre numerose ville e scuole attenendosi ai canoni dell'architettura tradizionale; divenne capo giardiniere del Duca di Devonshire a Chatsworth e per tutta la vita fu coinvolto nell'arte del giardinaggio. Fu pure editore di riviste e testi botanici e con John Lindley, noto botanico inglese, pubblicò Paxton's Flower Garden (così Diz. Treccani online).Molto ben conservato.
