Plants Their Natural Growth Ornamental Treatment ~ F.E. Hulme ~ 1874 1st Edition

A delightful folio sized botany volume with gilt decorated and blind stamped boards. The boards are in very good condition for a work of this size and age, showing only light edge wear. The binding is shaken, with most signatures and plates loose from the binding, an issue commonly encountered with this publication due to its large format and binding structure. The title page is lacking. All plates are present, and the pages/plates are in very good condition. The book would benefit from professional attention to secure the signatures/ leaves and has been priced with this in mind. Please see photos for condition. Weight: 2005g.
