Sobre este artículo
EDINBURGH: W H LIZARS, 1838 A very good copy of the 1st edition in the original publisher's cloth binding with 31 hand coloured plates and a hand coloured vignette title page. The binding has been rebacked, retaining the original spine, and is bright, clean and sound. The corners have light wear and turning, and there is some fading to edges as usual. The original green endpapers have been retained with repair. There is the decorative bookplate of Francis Hemming, the entomologist, and the signature of C Hemming to the front pastedown, and a pencil signature (not readable) to the fep. Contents: volume listing; half title; black and white frontispiece portrait of Haller with tissue guard; hand coloured vignette title page with picture of Green Tody; 2 further title pages; advert; contents listing; Memoir of Baron Haller; text; and 31 hand coloured plates bound at the rear. There is some light spotting to initial leaves and the text paper is lightly toned. The tissue guards to the frontispiece and plate 8 have been replaced. The plates are very well coloured and are bright and clean. There is some offsetting to the original tissue guards.
