Add to basket(4),ii,3-485 pp, Quarto (27.5 X 22.5 cm.) Bound in 20th century half calf and marbled boards. Two tone title and author labels. Spine ruled in 6 compartments. Modern endpapers. Title page and presentation leaf have had the outer margin professionally strengthened. This has been nicely done. 100 black and white copper etchings nu…mber I to XCIX and one other plate numbered XXIX (Bis). Complete as issued. The plates have a bit of edge toning but are generally very clean. Bound in a fairly plain binding but overall a very nice clean copy of a very scarce and important book. Lada Mocarska 113. Arctic Biblio. 7393, Sabin 32863, Howes H 623 and Wickersham 815. The descriptions of the plants are by Messrs. Lay ( the expedition naturalist), Collie, and other officers of the expedition. The descriptions with commentaries include a total of 232 species in the Alaskan coastal area. Lada Mocarski indicates the book was issued in 10 parts from 1830 to 1841 but I have never seen or heard of an example in parts.
