Author, 1854. Hardcover. Fair. Two volumes 8vo in black cloth. Somewhat rough: Both boards of Volume I are present, but it is essentially disbound. Volume II is intact but the spine strip is gone. All 96 plates are present with their tissue guards, plus the portrait at the rear of Volume I and the Linnean chart at the front of Volume II. Foxing is not much of an issue, but there is scattered dampstaining. About 20% of the plates have peripheral dampstains, in only a few cases are the images affected. The colors remain quite vibrant. Seems to be a candidate for restoration.
