About This Item
xxviii, 470 pp. Large 8°, [9¼ x 6½], Quarter leather with gilt stamped spine and alligator skin–like paper-covered boards. Nice indigo speckling on textblock edges. Light wear with some sunning at top of boards and a bit of wear on corners. Interior clean, little if any foxing, and a few marginalia in pencil. Plates are present ("Avec 5 planches dont 4 en Chromo et 80 Figures dans le Texte."), but plates don't appear to be bound in the correct places. Also, margins on plates appear tight. Still very good with a nice look. The author claims that the league of enemies of grape production herein is not exhaustive, "la liste des parasites, animaux ou végétaux, qui s'attaquent ànos récoltes augmente d'année en année, but the orders of Hémiptères, Lépidoptères, Névroptères, Orthoptères, Coléoptères, Hyménoptères inclusive of 90 species are described here. It is a wonder that there are any grapes left for wine.
