A propos de cet article

This, the fifth volume in the original set, is bound with explanatory text accompanying each plate. Some other volumes of this early edition have all plates bound in the back. Later sets changed the numbering of the volumes. The first 92 pp. are devoted to the naturalist, Sir Hans Sloane. Such a beautiful book! No foxing. It is tight and clean and the lively hand-colored plates are sharp and bright. Brown cloth covered boards. 12mo. 4-11/16" x 7-3/16." Green endpapers. 248 pp.
