Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. 4to. pp 52. Printed by Richardson and Hutchison in Glasgow and denoted on the title page 'unpublished.' Errata slip at table 15 ('Inflorescence.') Produced by Hooker as a teaching aid to show the plant to students ather than have to provide the real thing. Signed presentation from W J… Hooker - 'To his young botanical friend Miss Bickersteth. The Author.' Miss Bickersteth is proabbly 'the Honourable Miss Bickersteth' mentioned in the Botanical Gazette of 1850 (Dec) in connection with the finding of a new species of fern.Wkisource notes 'In 1837 a thin quarto volume of Botanical Illustrations was produced, "being a series of above a thousand figures, selected from the best sources, designed to explain the terms employed in a course of Lectures on Botany." The plates were executed by Walter Fitch, who was originally a pattern-drawer in a calico-printing establishment, and entered the service of Sir William in 1834. This great botanical artist continued to assist Sir William till the death of the latter, and himself died at Kew in 1892. A number of copies of this early work of Fitch remain to the present day in the Botanical Department in Glasgow.' There are 26 plates/ tables (the copy at Cambridge University has 25 plates) each with multiple small b/w drawings of plants, seemingly less than a 1000 in total, more like 700. Soundly boiund in recent half green leather lettered gilt at the spine with marbled boards. Some slight foxing to title page and first few and last few plates. Attractive binding. Very good. Signedes.
