A good copy in editorial cloth of this work that uses "nature printing" as an illustrative technique, that is a method to produce a print of a natural object (such as a leaf) by making an imprint directly on a soft metal plate underneath using great pressure and thus creating an inked print on paper. This is the second book published in Great Britain using the "nature print" technique, after Thomas Moore's Ferns of Great Britain and Ireland (1855), also illustrated by Bradbury. Bradbury's fame as the inventor of this technique was disputed by the Austrian imperial printer Alois Auer who states instead that "certainly Bradbury took the process to Great Britain and perfected it there" (ODNB).
4 volumes, 8vo (240 x 158mm). Half-title, frontispiece with vignette with different natural impression in each volume, 221 plates printed from nature, one plate with illustrations (some more marked spots in vol. I, a few occasional marginal tears). Green editorial cloth printed in gold and blindstamped. Provenance: Albert R. Graves (bookplate). (4)
