Seller's Description:
Good. No Jacket. Volume 1 only. Intended to be "a running Supplement and Illustration of the 'Flora Capensis, ' or General Description of the Plants of South Africa". Complete with 100 plates, including 1 fold-out page holding 2 plates. The boards are quite shelf rubbed, edge worn and marked, with the spine discoloured with age and fraying at the top and bottom edges. Despite this, the boards are strong and sturdy. Internally, there is some edge wear, but the pages remain legible, neat and complete. Tightly bound and in good condition indeed, considering the age of the book! JK.
