A propos de cet article

A very good copy of the Royal 8vo edition in the original publisher's cloth binding with 60 hand coloured plates. Part of Edward Griffith's major work on Cuvier's Animal Kingdom, but complete as a single volume. The series was a very expensive production, with this volume costing £3 12s 0d in 1833. As a result it is very scarce. The binding has a paper label to spine and is clean and sound, although there are a couple of places internally where the stitching is wobbly (pp 162 and 304). There is some pulling to spine ends and the corners have wear with some turning and bumping. Board surfaces slightly scuffed. Contents: half title; series title; volume title; plate list; Annelida pp 1-130 with 8 plates; Crustacea pp 131-382 with 25 plates; Arachnida pp 383-533 with 27 plates; alphabetical listing pp 535-540. The contents are in very good clean condition with some light toning and occasional darkening to top page edges. There is a light stain in the gutter at p 192/3. Size 26.2 cm x 16.2 cm.
