About This Item
New York: The Natural Science Association of America, 1895. Hardcover. Poor. Folio. (192) pages. Hardcover bound in half leather and burgundy cloth-covered boards. The binding shows heavy wear, and the boards are detached and soiled with old damping to the front cover. The first few and last few pages are detached. Front flyleaves detached, torn and chipped. There is some damping at the top corner at the front of the book, affecting the frontis (Bald Eagle plate), title page, and about the first 20 plates. There is also some damping towards the rear, mostly staying in the fore edge margin. We have a photo album of this book on our bookshop's Facebook page (Pages Past Used & Rare Books) showing each plate in the book. Collates complete with all 119 color plates.
