Sobre este artículo
London : J and J Bonwicke, R Wilkin, S Birt, T Ward and E Wicksteed, 1737 A very good copy of the third English edition in new half calf binding with marbled boards. When Pierre Pomet first published the work in France in 1684, a wealth of discoveries were being made through voyages to tropical regions. This book was the first to look at the new products - whether plant, animal or mineral being made available for european use. It was translated into English in 1712 and became a handbook for apothecaries. Pierre Pomet (1658-1699) had a practice in Paris as well his position as Chief Druggist to Louis XIV. The binding has raised bands with gilt lines to spine and a red title label. It is in fine condition. The pastedown endpapers have been replaced and there is the signature of Sarah Mainwaring to the fep. The title page also has her signature, crossed out, at the top. Contents: title page in red and black; dedication 3pp; Preface 7pp; sources named in the work 7pp; catalogue of seeds 5pp; text 419 pp with 86 plates (2 folding) - the text is divided into 2 books with a heading indicating Book II at p 225; index 9pp; finis. The plates are particularly interesting because some cover scenes showing the manufacture of products from raw materials, and the plates of animals mix myth and reality. The contents are in very good clean condition with light toning. Margins, whilst not encroaching on text, look slightly trimmed. Book size: 23.5 cm x 18.9 cm.
