Internally mainly a very good and clean set. This is the first six volumes of the first complete illustrated flora of Sweden. "The work was esteemed by contemporaries as an enterprise of national importance. Palmstruch's own illustrations, in the six first volumes, have been characterized as the best pictures of plants ever produced in Sweden, and make this one of the most beautiful of Swedish books." (Sten G. Lindberg) Krok, p. 98f. Nissen, 2223. Pritzel, 10707. Sten G. Lindberg: Swedish Books 1280-1967, p. 45.

"Known as the 'Swedish Sowerby', this work was 'ESTEEMED BY CONTEMPORARIES AS AN ENTERPRISE OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE'. 'Palmstruch's own illustrations, in the first six volumes, have been characterised as the best pictures of plants ever produced in Sweden and make this one of the most beautiful of Swedish books'. The work is usually found incomplete, as most of the stock of the eleventh volume was destroyed by fire before distribution." REFERENCES: De Belder, 264; Nissen, 2223.

Titelbladet (till första delen) defekt med stor lagning, ett textblad defekt där mer än hälften saknas (texten till hummer).

Stockholm, C. Delén et al., 1802-1829. Lex8vo. Bound in 10 excellent, uniform half calf bindings from ca 1900, by the great Swedish book binder G. Hedberg, in pastiche style with richly gilt spines and gilt top edges, otherwise uncut. Spines a little faded, but a beautiful set with all 720 hand-coloured engraved plates. Beautiful set of the first edition of the first Swedish colour-plate book on flowers and plants, often characterized as "The Swedish Sowerby". Palmstruch had learned drawing from Desprez and planned his magnificent work using Flora Danica and Sowerby's English Botany as models. The work was "esteemed by contemporaries as an enterprise of national importance. Palmstruch's own illustrations, in the six first volumes, have been characterized as the best pictures of plants ever produced in Sweden, and make this one of the most beautiful of Swedish books" (Lindberg, Swedish Books). An 11th (and final) volume was planned to appear later, but as a fire in the printing house (in May 1840) destroyed most of the stock of the last published parts before distribution (54 plates in all), this final unfinished and mostly destroyed 11th volume is hardly ever found together with the 10 volumes that were completed.

Ryggarna något nötta, titeletiketterna lite mer, rygghuvudet till del 2 med lagning, yttre falsen lite skadad upptill. Några blad med små marginalskador, några planscher lite bruntonade, enstaka fläckar men huvudsakligen ändå ett bra exemplar.
