A propos de cet article

Three volume set, complete with 151 engraved plates, of which 150 are in hand color. The plates are mostly by and after Moses Harris, with two plates by P. Mazell after M. Garlside. Published in 1770, 1773 and 1782. Original contemporary leather spines and corners with moderate shelfwear, including weakening of the hinges (which remain intact) and wear and craquelure to the surface layer of the spines. Paper-covered boards with variegated gray on gray decoration, with minor rubbing, minor soiling, minor staining and minor discoloration. Evidence of a obscured blind or embossed stamp in the margin of all three title pages, and evidence of bookplate removal on the inside front cover of all three volumes. Small stain to the margin of one plate (pictured). One plate margin with a 1-inch repaired tear, not affecting the image. While there is the occasional small ink stain or minor soiling to the text, and some of the paper of the plates is evenly and only slightly toned, this full-margined deckle-edged copy which remains in the original contemporary bindings is an unusual survival. Text is in English and French. Index, errata and addenda leaf for the first volume bound with the index leaf at the end of volume two. Each volume contains 50 hand-colored plates. Vol. I: xxviii, 130 pages of text. Contains one uncolored schematic engraved plate facing page xxxv. Vol. II: vii, [i] blank, 90 pages of text, followed by [iv] pages of indexes. Vol. III: xxvi, 76 pages of text, followed by [ii] pages of index. Vols I & II printed on undated J. Whatman paper, and Vol III printed on what appears to be a mix of undated J. Whatman and I. Taylor papers. Height of pages: 299mm. Height of binding: 304mm. Width of pages: 238mm. Width of binding: 245mm. BIBLIOGRAPHY: Nissen ZBI 1160. A superior copy of the first edition of this important work.…
