Not dated but c 1890. Card covers with cloth spine and tipped on colour illustrations filling boards. Top edge gilt. Glazed endpapers. Two hand-coloured full page plate illustrations (boards worn at edges with a few small chips and indentations, mild scuffing and scratches, rounded on corners). Internally neat, clean and bright. Tyas, perhaps the most influential author in the Victorian passion for botanical drawings and the symbolism of flowers, first produced this work in 1869. This undated copy is likely a latter, cheaper edition, from around 1890; it features only two illustrations whereas the original had many more and the binding is less luxurious, although still a pretty volume.
