ELEMENTARY BOTANICAL PLATES

by Robert John Thornton

Published 1810

Very good condition. Very large format. Modern binding; green cloth spine; grey covers with printed title label stuck to front. Illustrative of the science of botany....but more particularly intended to illustrate botanical extracts; or the philosophy of botany. Made up from sections of the author's work: A New Illustration of the Sexual System of Carolus Von Linnaeus. Contains 44 engraved plates; mostly showing specimens viewed under the microscope.

Some light wear to cover edges; a bit of damage to home made title label. First 2/3rds of pages have been trimmed, especially to bottom edge; others are uncut; some pages look longer internally than others. Foxing and some grubby margin marks spread to page throughout the book. Damp staining to corners and a couple of edges of pages.
