Item description from seller

24 engraved plates (rare proof impressions), each with separate page of letterpress and original tissue guards. List of plates and front and rear blanks present, fore and lower edges mostly uncut. Original printed card wrappers bound in (seemingly a decorative front wrapper specially printed for proof copies); modern but tasteful cloth binding. Plates very good, a few with some dust soiling to edges and with corners a little worn, but not nearly affecting image, a couple with foxing spots, but not disfiguring; some tissue guards creased and a couple torn. Front wrapper and front blank with some wear to edges, the former with some older paper repairs to edges of the verso. Overall a very good copy. Very rare in this proof state. Size: Folio - Landscape (32 x 45cm).

Store description

We are taking a break while we re-locate ourselves and business. We move to a peaceful stretch of the River Lynher. We specialise in fine antiquarian and second-hand books with a strong interest in Natural History, particularly the New Naturalist Series. If you come across any issues when searching for a title please contact us via our email loe@loebooks.co.uk or telephone us on 01566 782528. Offers always welcome and given serious consideration. We are not a formal shop but visitors are welcome by appointment. We are situated about 9 miles south of Launceston, close to Bodmin Moor. It is a beautiful part of Cornwall, so even if you do not find the book you are looking for a visit is worthwhile for the countryside alone!…
