What Our Customers Say...

Description

Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

An extraordinary exploration into British marine biology.

Written by Philip Henry Gosse (1810-1888), an English naturalist remembered for being an important proponent of the aquarium, coining the term with his work 'The Aquarium: An Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Sea'. Gosse was a pioneering marine biologist.

The first, and only, edition of this beautiful work.

Illustrated with twelve chromolithograph plates, including eleven in colour. Collated, complete.

Condition

In the publisher's original full cloth binding. Externally very smart, with just a little bumping to the head and tail of the spine. Ownership inscriptions to the front pastedown. Internally, firmly bound; frontispiece is ever so slightly loose but still secture.. Pages are bright and clean, with just the odd spot.

Very Good Indeed
