The Ferns of Great Britain and Their Allies The Club Mosses, Pepperworts, and Horsetails

Undated but probable Second Edition, marvellously illustrated throughout with complete set of 40 chromo-lithographic colour plates. Original cloth binding with blind stamped decoration is faded, just cracking along spine edges but otherwise very sound. All edges gilt. Yellow endpapers fresh. Small bookseller’s plate to front pastedown reads ‘ J. Phillipps, 22 South St, Worthing.’ Each gorgeous colour plate is in excellent condition, protected by a tissue guard. Remaining leaves clean and crisp. 164 pp. collated and complete. A very good copy.
