Thomas Browne's Hydriotaphia and The Garden of Cyrus were first published in the 1650s under conditions which did not do justice to the text - many errors had crept in. John Carter, the editor of this extraordinary lavish edition, states: "I am able to present for the first time the results of a collation of the six known copies of the first edition which bear corrections in the author's hand". Desmond Flower's publishers' note states that "the printing has been carried out at the Curwen Press: the typography has been in the hands of Oliver Simon and the stencilling of the colours under the supervision of Harold Curwen. The collotypes, which form the basis of the illustrations, were printed by Charles Whittingham and Griggs." The brown outer slipcase has some moisture damage towards the edge of the opening, with some discoloration. The book is in near fine condition.
