This stunning edition of The Fragrance of Flowers A Nature Lovers' Anthology by Kate Ursula Brack was published by Hodder and Stoughton. The book itself is undated but there is an inscription dated 1918. The book was first published in 1911.
It's in very good condition with some minor rubbing and discolouration to the front board. There is also light wear and bumping to the corners and board edges. The spine ends are crushed.
Inside, the endpapers are beautifully illustrated and there is a written inscription on verso of the front free endpaper. There is also a pencilled note at the bottom saying where the book was bough and a name in pencil to the bottom of the title page. The pages are clean and bright with light age toning. There is foxing to the title page and cracking to the gutter.
Dimensions approximately 17.4cm x 11.5cm x 1.8cm.
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 oxo-degradable and the clear bubble wrap is 100% recyclable. I also reuse boxes when I feel it's appropriate (if the boxes are sturdy enough).
