Although without formal scientific training, Henry John Elwes
(1846-1922) devoted his life to natural history. He had studied
birds, butterflies and moths, but later turned his attention to
collecting and growing plants. Embarking on his most ambitious
project in 1903, he recruited the Irish dendrologist Augustine
Henry (1857-1930) to collaborate with him on this well-illustrated
work. Privately printed in seven volumes between 1906 and 1913, it
covers the varieties, distribution, history and cultivation of tree
species in the British Isles. The strictly botanical parts were
written by Henry, while Elwes drew on his extensive knowledge of
native and non-native species to give details of where remarkable
examples could be found. Each volume contains photographic plates
as well as drawings of leaves and buds to aid identification. The
species covered in Volume 1 (1906) include beech, spruce and yew.
