Comprehensive treatise of palm trees and related specimens. The book, which aspires to inventory all the possible uses of palm trees by man, describes the properties and uses of the plants, including those for agriculture, food, medicine, industry and garden cultivation. Illustrated with 16 chromolithographs, each showing a lone specimen. Additional 120 black and white vignette illustrations of palms in natural habitats, details of leaves, etc.
Condition: Interior contents very good with the usual light overall toning, scattered foxing and staining. Rebound in red leather and marbleized covers, apparently recently, very good overall with little wear. |
