About This Item
T. Fisher Unwin, London, 1904 An octavo of 267 pages bound in the original pictorial cloth of a gardener in a white shirt and hat tending a garden bed with his rake. The spine features a large bay standard with twisted twin trunks set in a large pot. This exceptional publisher's trade binding is executed in white, olive and chartreuse green set against navy blue. Colored frontispiece of sweet peas. Written by the author of Recipe For The Million, it contains a wealth of practical information for garden lovers. The text can be readily had in various internet formats and reproductions...but the satisfaction of the boldly handsome binding, representing the best elements of the Arts and Crafts period of design, cannot be captured in modern commercial endeavors. There is a previous owner's signature,some soil and general wear as well as browning to the free endpapers. Nevertheless, this remains a very respectable copy of the real thing!
