Item Details
This is an interesting and early schoolbook, titled First Lessons in Botany, with a copyright date of 1848 and a print date of 1850 on this one, form Crocker and Brewster, and the Claremont NH Manufacturing Company. Alphonso Wood is the author, and its a small hardcover volume with and embossed leather spine that has gold lettering. It has 255 numbered pages and the C Davidson Co is credited with the stereotyping. Illustrations are in black and white, and the volume is about 6 by 4 & 3/4 inches.
Condition is good, for an old schoolbook. There is foxing, the binding is still intact and holding fine, there are a few slightly loose pages, some small tears and one larger one, but the closeup photos show the condition, including the worst tear and some of the light stains in addition to the foxing. The stains and foxing are more prevalent in the front and back fo the book and the interior pages are cleaner. The cover has some wear, corner bumps and edge wear on the spine, however at 171 years old, this book has survived well - a neat find for the collector!
Please see the photos as they show the condition and detail well and use the "Click to Expand" on the bottom of the pictures to see them fully.
