Sobre este artículo
EDINBURGH: W H LIZARS, 1833 A very good copy of the 1st edition in the original publisher's cloth binding. With half title; engraved frontispiece portrait of Count Buffon; hand coloured vignette title page (picture of a young rhesus monkey); 2 further title pages; contents listing; Memoir of Buffon; text, numerous engravings in the text, and 30 hand coloured plates (the plates run to number 29 but there are 2 versions of plate 2. Publisher's catalogues bound at the rear. The binding has been rebacked to retain the original spine. The boards and spine have a few marks - 3 on the boards and one on the spine. Light wear to corners. The original green endpapers have been retained with professional repair at the joints. There is the bookplate of Francis Hemming, the noted entomologist, at the front pastedown. Text pages have toning to margins and edges and the occasional mark or spot. The plates have browned edges but are clean with good colouring. Tissue guards have some offsetting and there is sometimes marking to the back of the plates.
