One of the most important American studies of trees ever published, with over 350 species represented by over 1,000 real wood specimens. Romeyn B. Hough AMERICAN WOODS: EXHIBITED BY ACTUAL SPECIMENS AND WITH COPIUS EXPLANATORY TEXT Lowville, NY: 1893-1900 12of 14 octavo volumes : 2nd edition (vols. 1-3: 1893, 1898, 1900) and1st edition (vols. 4-12: 1894, 1894, 1895, 1897, 1899, 1903, 1904,1910, 1911) Contains actual samples of 25 species in each volume (plus some variations); and each species is represented by 3 thin slices mounted in labeled cardstock(transverse, radial, and tangential cuts); along with a paperbound companion text for each volume; all set in a clothbound portfolio and slipcase. together with AMERICAN WOODS: COMMERCIALSPECIES Lowville, NY: 1916 2of 2 octavo volumes (1st edition) Containing a selection of the specimen cards from the 50 “kinds of wood most largely manufactured into lumber in the United States…” The cards are numbered in accordance with the original volumes, and are accompanied by new companion texts; set in a clothbound portfolio and a slipcase of quarter leather and gilt-stamped cloth. Condition: all 14 volumes complete and good, with some wear; a few volumes are missing the slipcase hasp; most internal portfolios have weak hinges, and a couple of companion texts have tears to the paper cover; all specimens are complete and in generally good condition with only scattered cracking and a very few minor losses. Romeyn Beck Hough (1857-1924) studied medicine at Cornell University, but like his father, had a passion for botany. He invented a veneer cutter that could cut extremely slices of wood (1/1200 of an inch). He began marketing his thin, flexible, and translucent wood slices for a variety of decorative and scientific purposes. Beginning in 1888, he published volumes of specimens, arranged geographically, with accompanying text describing the botany, habitat, and various uses of each species. He planned for 15 volumes but died following the publication of volume 13. His daughter, Marjorie Galloway Hough, completed volume 14 using her father’s samples and field notes. Hough’s work won him numerous accolades in his day, including gold medals at the Paris, Columbian, Pan-American, Louisiana Purchase, and Alaska Yukon exhibitions, as well as the Elliot Cresson Gold Medal from the Franklin Institution. Because of the longevity of the publication process, the high original cost ($5 per volume) and the regional nature of each volume, complete sets of this landmark study are exceedingly scarce, and typically, only single or small groups of volume appear on the market. While this set is missing volume 13 and the posthumous volume 14, it does include the rarely seen two-volume Commercial Species. What makes this set particularly special is that it was originally owned by Otto Heinrich Louis Wernicke (1862-1930), and all of the first 12 volumes of original set bear complete or fragmentary spine labels bearing Wernicke’s name, and all also have at least one bookplate inside. Wernicke made a name for himself with his 1892 patent for an “elastic book-case,” an early form of modular shelving that allowed customers to buy bookshelves by the “stack”. In 1899, the company merged with The Globe Company, becoming Globe-Wernicke, and moved their production to Norwood (a suburb of Cincinnati).In 1904, however, Wernicke left the company and purchased the Fred Macey Furniture Company and began producing stacking bookcases under the name The Macey Company. He later removed to Pensacola, Florida where he spearheaded the building of the Pensacola Bay Bridge. Undoubtedly, a man in the furniture business would have an interest in American trees, their wood, and their uses, so for Wernicke to have owned a nearly complete set is not surprising. Additionally, some of the volumes retain “sign out” cards, suggesting that Wernicke’s set of American Woods was accessible to his management and/or employees.
