$25
SHIPPING OFFERED
'Beautiful Leaved Plants' [with a note on Benjamin Fawcett by Ray Desmond] by Frances Perry in very good condition. It's a First Edition hardback as per photo 2.
The blurb:- This unusal book about indoor plants is based on plates first printed from 1861 to 1891 by Benjamin Fawcett, who developed a technique of colour printing from multiple engraved wood blocks which in its richness and depth of tones gives a result unsurpassed by other nineteenth century printers in colour. To accompany the 64 full page plates Frances Perry has provided informative and helpful notes about the plants and their origin, giving each a description with advice on cultivation and propagation. The book thus provides a practical, informative and attractive guide to a branch of horticulture which is again enjoying a degree of interest comparable with that lavished by the Victorians themselves on plants indoors. Frances Perry supplies a general introduction in which she gives help on such matters as soil mixes, and Ray Desmond supplies a note on Benjamin Fawcett.
Contents page is shown in photo 3 [can be enlarged to make easier to read].
142 page hardback. Published by Scolar Press in 1979 [1st Edition]. ISBN 0-85967-406-1. [Approx 26 x 18 x 1.7cms & 560g].
This beautifully illustrated hardback is in very good condition with pages clean and tightly bound. Exterior shows minor signs of use/storage as per photos 1 & 10 with a little spotting along the top edge of the closed pages. And whilst my photos make the dust cover look almost white, it is actually a pale yellow or parchment colour.
Also have other gardening books listed separately at present.
Please note:-
- Inspections welcome.
- Best to phone [three&two zero&nine seven&one eight&two] if you are keen to collect. I don't use a mobile and often only get to check messages late in the evening, so please check your email for replies [they sometimes end up in your Spam folder].
- No Paypal [sorry]
