Item description from seller

A good copy in the original decorative cloth binding with hand coloured frontispiece and 15 further hand coloured plates. This was part of Reeve's Popular Natural History series and is one of the scarcer titles. The series was intended for older children as an introduction to different fields of natural history. They vary greatly from the very technical Popular History of Lichens to the chatty and anecdotal of which this volume is a good example. The binding has blind stamped decoration to both boards and gilt to the front board and spine. It is rubbed - particularly around the spine which is sunned with more faded gilt. The spine is lightly cocked to the front and the ends are pulled. Corners lightly turned. The original endpapers are present with 'From the Author' written at the top of the front free endpaper. Contents are complete with an 8 page publisher's catalogue at the rear. There is a small repaired tear to the top edge of the title page and a small piece of paper missing from the bottom of the rear pastedown endpaper. Contents are generally clean with the occasional mark and light foxing. Light toning to margins. Book size: approx 17 x 13 cm.…

Store description

We are a small online bookselling business specialising in rare and unusual books, generally published before 1900, with a focus on natural history, history, illustrated works and some literature. We are based in the beautiful Orkney Islands and have a specialist Orkney/Shetland section in our listings. We run a bookshop in Orkney - Birsay Books - where we have a wide range of stock from science fiction and fantasy to maritime and, of course, Orkney/Shetland and Scottish material. We take images of all of our books to supplement the online descriptions, and are always happy to provide more on request. When you order from us, we ensure that books are properly packed to protect their condition and we always use recorded or 'signed for' postal services for additional security. Because we are based on an island which depends on ferries and flights for shipping, we can not guarantee 'next day' delivery. We will simply get your purchase to you as quickly and safely as we can.…
