{"product_id":"the-young-botanists-19th-century-illustrated-book-copy","title":"The Christian Garland or a Companion for Leisure Hours; Early Victorian with Colour plates","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beautiful edition of The Christian Garland was published by the Religious Tract Society. The book itself is undated but there is a penned inscription dated 1852. So the book is early Victorian. It was compiled as a companion for Leisure Hours and contains a collection of poetry, prose and non fiction. The book is bound in red cloth with stunning blind stamped decoration and gilt to the boards and spine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's in good condition but there is splitting to the cloth at the external front joint and spine ends. There is wear and light crushing to the corners and the boards show minor marks. The spine is sunned and discoloured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, there is a penned inscription to the front free endpaper and some pencilled details of the book. The pages show light age toning throughout and sporadic foxing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book features eight stunning colour plates. Dimensions approximately 16cm x 10.5cm x 1.2cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book will arrive hand wrapped in patterned wallpaper and string.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI 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).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Vintage Bookworm UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57330381521269,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/9271\/8525\/files\/28F730CF-F120-4B74-96AA-4AE86CC653ED.jpg?v=1782826905","url":"https:\/\/thevintagebookworm.co.uk\/products\/the-young-botanists-19th-century-illustrated-book-copy","provider":"The Vintage Bookworm UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
