About This Item
The Botanic Garden
Maund, Benjamin.
Simkin & Marshall, Beginning in 1825 and published in parts. This set is uniformly bound in 8 volumes (1-8), consisting of 96 plates and 384 engraved hand-colored botanical entries. The attractive contemporary binding is an uncommon green "Watered Silk" pattern, with morocco labels in gilt. The bindings are very good and show slight shelf wear, some sun fade on the spines only, and a few corners lightly bumped. Each plate is protected from offsetting from the descriptions by tissue guards. The plates and text are very clean and bright, and all the plates are accounted for. The title pages and endpapers do have moderate foxing. All 384 entries are listed by an index and shown in the common name and the botanical notation. An attractive copy of a very popular 19th century Botanical reference book by a well known naturalist.
