1938 To Persia for Flowers
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce
The first edition of this very scarce volume.
In the original green cloth binding, with spine label.
A most charming account of a trip made by two British women, Alice Fullerton and Nancy Lindsay, to what was then Persia and is now Iran, with the purpose of collecting flowers and species from previously underexplored areas. They were backed by Captain Ramsbottom, the Keeper of Botany at the Natural History Museum, and were provided with the necessary equipment.
Illustrated with six double-sided monochrome plates of photographs taken during their travels. Collated, complete.
Condition
In the original cloth binding. Externally, very smart, with mild rubbing to the extremities, most notable to the spine head and tail. Faint library marking to the spine. Institutional bookplate to the front pastedown. Internally, firmly bound, with bright and clean pages. A small ownership inscription to the front free endpaper. Library withdrawn ink impression and card pocket tipped in to the rear pastedown.
