EUROPEAN BUTTERFLIES AND MOTHS. With 61 coloured plates, based on Berge's Schmetterlingsbuch.
year:
1898
description:
61 fine hand-coloured plates. Original ornate gilt and coloured cloth, all edges gilt. Large thick 4to. Apart from very small scuffs to lower corners, a near mint copy of this finely produced volume. A wonderful example of Victorian fine printing and binding; this is by far the best copy I have ever seen; the ornate pictorial binding looks as though it has come straight from the binders - quite remarkable - it is bright and sparkling.
