1867 JULES-EMILE PLANCHON HANDWRITTEN LETTER to DR. V.A. SIGNORET, plus two of J.-E. Planchon’s ORIGINAL WORKS on the FRENCH PHYLLOXERA VINEYARD PLAGUE, plus a SIGNED WORK by J.-E. Planchon’s brother, GUSTAVE PLANCHON. THREE PAGE HANDWRITTEN LETTER by JULES EMILE PLANCHON to DR. VINCENT ANTOINE SIGNORET (addressed only to “Monsieur”, but clearly to Dr. Vincent Antoine Signoret, identifiable by other items that accompany the letter, items that are included and described below). The letter is written on a single-fold sheet, making 4-pages. The letter is handwritten on the front page and the two inside pages, the back page is blank. Signed by J. E. Planchon at the end of his letter, with his current positions as Professor and Director of Pharmaceuticals in Montpellier, written beneath his signature. AN IMPORTANT LETTER – Written during the time that J-E PLANCHON was investigating the cause for the destruction of grape vines throughout Europe, and looking for a way to stop it. Much of the letter discusses botany, with botanical words such as: “Chènes “, “Coccus”, “Gramutii”, “Pulvinatus”, “Chermes”, “Cultivés”, “Coquilles”, “Èspece”, etc. Much of the letter has to do with “scale insects”, a specialty of the letter’s recipient, DR. V.-A. SIGNORET. The letter is dated “Montpellier le 10 Decembre 1867”. It appears that the letter was originally sent to GUSTAVE PLANCHON, the brother of JULES EMILE PLANCHON, in response to a booklet written by Gustave Planchon titled: LE KERMES DU CHENE – AUX POINTS DE VUE ZOOLOGIQUE, COMMERCIAL & PHARMACEUTIQUE. But the letter by Signoret to Gustave Planchon was either intercepted by or forwarded to Jules Emile Planchon, who read it and responded to it. THE LETTER IN THIS AUCTION IS THE LETTER BY J.-E. PLANCHON to SIGNORET, it DOES NOT include the assumed letter written by Signoret to Gustave. However…GUSTAVE’S BOOKLET IS INCLUDED with J.-E. Planchon’s letter. The booklet has printed blue wrappers, sewn binding, 5.25” x 8.25”, 47 pages. Published in PARIS and MONTPELLIER, 1864. The booklet is SIGNED and INSCRIBED by GUSTAVE PLANCHON at the top of the front cover: “hommage de l’auteur / Gustave Planchon (signed)”. The booklet has the ink-stamped signature of SIGNORET on the half-title page, again on page 7 (the beginning of the text), and a third time on the blank bottom of the last page (page 47). Handwritten on the front cover, presumably by SIGNORET is “ecrit à M. Planchon le 21 9bre 1867” (wrote to Mr. Planchon on November 21, 1867). This corresponds nicely with the December 10, 1867, date on the letter by E.-J. Planchon to (presumably) Signoret. The booklet also has a handwritten, single-line, relevant note on page 23, presumably by Signoret. ALSO INCLUDED with the letter and the Gustave booklet are TWO BOOKLETS on GRAPE VINES and VINEYARDS by J. E. PLANCHON. (1) An 8 page booklet titled “LA PHTHIRIOSE ou PEDICULAIRE DE LA VIGNE CHEZ LES ANCIENS – Et Les Cochenilles de la VIGNE Chez Les Modernes”. A separately bound extract from the Societe des Agriculteurs de France, 1870. (2) A 16 page booklet titled “NOTES ENTOMOLOGIQUES SUR LE PHYLLOXERA VASTATRIX”. A separately bound extract from the Societe des Agriculteurs de France, 1869. IN SUMMARY, THIS AUCTION IS FOR: (1) A 3-PAGE HANDWRITTEN LETTER BY JULES-EMILE PLANCHON. (2) A 42 PAGE Booklet by GUSTAVE PLANCHON, SIGNED by GUSTAVE PLANCHON, and owned by VINCENT ANTOINE SIGNORET, with his stamped Signature and Handwritten notes. (3) AN 8 PAGE Booklet by JULES EMILE PLANCHON on VINES both Ancient and Modern. (4) A 16 PAGE Booklet by JULES EMILE PLANCHON on PHYLLOXERA, the Plague that was destroying the Vineyards of France and Europe. CONDITION: The letter is solid, there are some stains, spots, creases and edge toning but the writing is clear throughout. The letter has a number of folds from where it was folded, presumably to fit into a small envelope. The booklet by Gustave Planchon has a couple of creases and spots, but remains solid and nice. The 8 page booklet has some creases but remains sturdy, bright and clean. The 16 page booklet is soiled, has edge wear, creases, and tears, has some foxing, and has some early previous owner’s margin marks and text underlining. A bit more about THE LETTER from JULES EMILE PLANCHON – The letter begins (please take into account my poor ability to transcribe the handwriting, causing, without doubt, numerous errors in even this very partial transcription): “Monsieur, C’est a mon frère Mr. Gustave Planchon, aujord hui Professeur à l’école de Pharmacie de Paris, qui d’adressait votre letter du 21 Novembre dernier… J’ai puis la liberte de la lire, dans l’idee de repondre moi meme a propos toutes vos matieres.” I have provided high quality images of all pages of the letter, so that you can decipher it for yourself. About JULES ÉMILE PLANCHON (from Wikipedia): ******JULES ÉMILE PLANCHON (21 March 1823 – 1 April 1888) was a French botanist born in Ganges, Hérault. After receiving his Doctorate of Science at the University of Montpellier in 1844, he worked for a while at the Royal Botanical Gardens in London, and for a few years was a teacher in Nancy and Ghent. In 1853 he became head of the department of botanical sciences at Montpellier University, where he remained for the remainder of his career. Planchon was highly regarded in scientific circles, and made a number of contributions in his classification of botanical species and varieties. Planchon is best remembered for his work in saving French grape vineyards from Phylloxera vastatrix, a microscopic, yellow aphid-like pest that was an exotic species from the United States. He performed this task with assistance from French botanist Pierre-Marie-Alexis Millardet and American entomologist Charles Valentine Riley. The solution involved introduction of American grapevines {Vitis riparia and Vitis rupestris} to France for grafting purposes.****** About GUSTAVE PLANCHON (from Wikipedia): ****** Gustave Planchon François Gustave Planchon , born 29 October 1833 in Ganges ( Hérault ), died 13 April 1900 in Montpellier (Hérault), was a French pharmacist and entomologist . After receiving a doctorate in medicine in 1859, he was appointed to the Faculty of Medicine at Montpellier and Professor of Botany at the University of Lausanne. In 1886 he was appointed Director of the Paris School of Pharmacy. He served in that capacity until his death, that is to say for almost fourteen years. G. Planchon is best known for his research on the anatomical structure of herbal drugs. Quite difficult to classify, his work was devoted to pharmacology and various fields of natural sciences and all its subsets, including plant physiology, botanical geography ( geobotany ), and entomology . Gustave Planchon received numerous awards for discovering and correcting morphological misidentifications (e.g. KERMES VERMILIO vs. KERMES ILICIS), and for determining with much greater precision the true botanical origins of different drugs.****** About VICTOR ANTOINE SIGNORET – probable recipient of the letter by Planchon (from Wikipedia): ******Victor Antoine Signoret (6 April 1816 Paris – 3 April 1889 Paris ) was a French pharmacologist, physician and entomologist. In 1845 Signoret gained his doctorate in pharmacology at the University of Paris. His thesis was entitled De l’Arsenic considéré sous ses divers points de vue. Pharmacology made him a wealthy man and he made many collecting trips mainly in Europe but also in Asia Minor. His very important collection is in the Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna, Austria although there is significant material in La Specola museum in Florence. Signoret Worked on both Homoptera and Heteroptera, and is considered to be one of the first great students of Coccidoidea (mealybugs and scale insects ). He wrote over 80 papers, including a Revision du groupe des Cydnides (1881–1884) and he was a Member of the Entomological Society of France, as well as an honor Fellow of the Entomological Society of London.****** From the recently published book “THE BOTANIST AND THE VINTNER”: ******In the mid-1860s, grapevines in southeastern France inexplicably began to wither and die. Jules-Émile Planchon, a botanist from Montpellier, was sent to investigate. He discovered that the vine roots were covered in microscopic yellow insects. What they were and where they had come from was a mystery. The infestation advanced with the relentlessness of an invading army and within a few years had spread across Europe, from Portugal to the Crimea. The wine industry was on the brink of disaster. The French government offered a prize of three hundred thousand gold francs for a remedy. Planchon believed he had the answer and set out to prove it. Gripping and intoxicating, The Botanist and the Vintner brings to life one of the most significant, though little-known, events in the history of wine.****** About PHYLLOXERA (from Wikipedia France):****** Le « Phylloxera vastatrix » (Daktulosphaira vitifoliae), ou phylloxéra de la vigne, est une espèce d’insectes homoptères de la famille des Phylloxeridae. C’est une sorte de puceron ravageur de la vigne. Le terme de phylloxéra désigne aussi, par métonymie, la maladie de la vigne causée par cet insecte. Jules Émile Planchon, ignorant les noms déjà créés par les entomologistes américains, décrit et nomme l’espèce Rhizaphis vastatrix en 1868 ; puis, le Dr Signoret, entomologiste parisien à qui Planchon avait envoyé des spécimens, la place dans le genre Phylloxera, au voisinage de plusieurs autres vivant sur les feuilles de végétaux divers2. Le nom Phylloxera vastatrix sera longtemps utilisé, et l’est encore parfois aujourd’hui. L’insecte est originaire de l’est des États-Unis et a provoqué une grave crise du vignoble européen à partir de 1864. Il a en effet fallu plus de trente ans pour la surmonter, en utilisant des porte-greffes issus de plants américains naturellement résistants au Phylloxéra. (The “Phylloxera vastatrix” (Daktulosphaira vitifoliae) or phylloxera of the vine, is a species of insects Homoptera of the family Phylloxeridae . It is a kind of aphid pest of the vine. The term also refers to phylloxera, by metonymy, the vine disease caused by this insect. Jules Émile Planchon , ignoring the names already created by American entomologists, described and named the species Rhizaphis vastatrix in 1868;, then Dr. Signoret, a Parisian entomologist to whom Planchon had sent specimens, placed the species in the genera Phylloxera , related to several other species living on the leaves of various plants. The name Phylloxera vastatrix was used for a longtime, and sometimes is still used today. The insect is native to the eastern United States and caused a very serious crisis in the vineyard Europe beginning in 1864. It took more than thirty years to overcome, using rootstocks from American plants that are naturally resistant to Phylloxera.)******
