Full Cloth
London
by Pratt, Anne
London: Frederick Warne and Co.. Full Cloth. Very Good. N.d., circa 1860s. 315 colored botanical plates. 8vo, 9 by 6 inches, 23 by 15 cm. Nissen 1562 speaks of edition issued from 1850 to 1870 which this is certainly of. All volumes are tight and generally clean. Some shelfwear to the green cloth as well as minor soiling -- volume IV and VI have small stains on spine. Still an attractive leatherette-like cloth, with gilt lettering and black border decoration crisp and clear. Bookplate pasted onto all FFEPs. Title page of volume 1 has two tiny pinholes at base where an article was pinned to leaf.
