What Our Customers Say...
Description
Folding Maps, Folding Plates, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding
A fascinating account of Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker's travels to the Himalayas, Bengal, the Sikkim, Nepal, and the Khasia Mountains.
Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker was a botanist, naturalist, and close friend of Charles Darwin, and for that reason this work has a focus on local flora, fauna, and other native plants. Hooker was one of the first naturalists to provide detailed written accounts of the plants of this region of the world.
Illustrated with a frontispiece, thirteen additional plates, one of which is folding, and two folding maps to the rear.
Collated and complete.
Condition
In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, a few marks to the boards, and bumping to the head and tail of the spine and extremities. Spine has darkened. Internally, front hinge is strained, and folding plate opposite page 376 is detached but present. Light tidemarks to the extremities of the plates, otherwise pages are generally clean.
