Circa: 1813
Extremely rare and important book titled 'Theorie Elementaire De La Botanique' (Elementary Theory of Botany) by Swiss Botanist Augustin Pyramus Candolle (1778-1841). This book is a first edition published in 1813 in Paris, France and contains De Candolle's most important work. The book is comprised of 500 numbered pages plus an index at the end. The binding appears to be original with loss to the leather spine covering. The title of the book is written in ink on the spine. The front cover is nearly detached. There is a bookplate on the inside front cover and a later ownership inscription in ink on the first blank page. The interior text is in fine condition with creamy white color to the paper and the pages crisp with some spots of light brownish discoloration. The book is extremely rare and contains the author's most important work as a famous Swiss botanist. I have not found another copy of this book currently being offered for sale by any book dealer nor have I found another copy of this book having sold in book sales records in the past forty years going back to the 1960's when there was a copy which is indicated as having sold back then. Please inquire with questions or for a shipping quote. |
