Descripción

This is a UK first edition hardcover published by the R. Groombridge (London) in 1836. The photos show the condition better than I can describe, however overall I am grading the book as Very Good condition for its age. The book has a straight spine with sharp but rubbed corners. The bottom half of the spine has come detached at some point but reaffixed and is separating from the boards for the remainder, but won't come off unless pulled. The page edges are heavily toned and the end papers are toned, as is the title page(s). The main text however is clean, with the odd grubby page that does not affect legibility or the illustrations. There is an owner's name and date of 1837 written neatly to the top corner of the front end paper. The title page makes no reference to year of publication, but research indicates this was 1836. At the end of the book is an index which references the first volume. The book is illustrated throughout with 50 colour full page engravings of plants. N° de ref. del artículo 015851
