This beautiful Victorian edition of The Floral World and Garden Guide was published by Groombridge and Sons in 1868.
The book is bound in green cloth with gilt decoration blind stamped detail to the front board and spine. All edges gilt. It's in near fine condition with light wear to the corners and spine ends. The spine shows faint sunning and there are minor marks to the front.
Inside, there are no inscriptions - the pages show light age toning and occasional foxing but are remarkably clean and bright.
The book features a handful of beautiful chromolithographic plates which make this book that little bit more special. There are also numerous black and white illustrations.
Dimensions approximately 22cm x 15cm x 3cm.
The book will arrive hand wrapped in patterned wallpaper and string.
I use a range of eco friendly, 100% recyclable jiffy bags and boxes, and whenever possible I use brown paper tape. The green bubble wrap is biodegradable and the clear bubble wrap is 100% recyclable. I also reuse boxes when I feel it's appropriate (if the boxes are sturdy enough).
