Land and Water Plants | FM & LT Duncan | 1917 edition
Gorgeous antique book of land and water plants from the Wonder of Plants series. Neither a nature guide nor a botany book, it's a chatty and accessible introduction to how plants live - their social systems, how they specialise to thrive and the characteristics of key plant families. Perfect for anyone interested in learning more about Beth Chatto's "Right plant, right place" philosophy.
Printed in 1917 – when the First World War was raging – this sweet little book is a gentle, enjoyable read, and a nice example of Art Nouveau book design. Containing 3 coloured plates, its beautiful Dog Rose and water meadow end papers are intact. The eyebrow-raising inscription is the icing on the cake.
Condition: Binding tight, no foxing. The cover is a bit battered in places, and the previous owner has inscribed their name and the inscription. All in all, really good for its age.
