About this Item
Brooklyn, NY, Brooklyn Botanical Garden [and other places and publishers], 1911-1957. 150 papers in five volumes. Near uniform green buckram with gilt title on the spines. = A rarely seen complete set of the first 150 contributions to botany published by staff members and associates of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. In 1897, New York State legislation reserved 39 acres for a botanic garden, and in 1910 the Brooklyn Botanic Garden (BBG) was founded with botanist Charles Stuart Gager as director. The Olmsted Brothers company of landscape architects laid out the original site plan (see the BBG website). Today, the Garden comprises 52 acres. The papers were published over a long period and in a wide range of periodicals, including some with a rather limited distribution. The first three volumes thick, octavo-sized, the fourth 4to sized, but otherwise identical; the fifth somewhat larger still, with a simpler gilt title (reflecting changing tastes over time) on the spine. All with a library label on the spine foot, and on the front pastedowns a pictorial bookplate or stamp of the Kansas State University Library. Individual papers often with an acquisition stamp on the front wrapper or first text leaf. Top edges soiled, otherwise a very good, clean set. Seller Inventory # 73710
