Beschreibung

Translation by N.P. Trist. 8vo. Calf spine with gilt lettering and brown pebble-grain cloth. 88pp. Illustrations, marbled page edges. Very good overall. Chip at head of spine, else tight and decent, with text pages mainly bright and nice and occasional light foxing; endpapers rather age toned and early "Illinois School Library" bookplate on front pastedown. John S. Skinner provides the "Introductory Remarks and Observations, on the Cow and the Diary" to this later ("Sixty-third Thousand") printing of the popular French study, illustrated with many full page line drawings showing the hind ends of many cow types. Though not so marked, this was the personal copy of Alfred N. Abbott (1862-1929), noted Illinois farmer, cattle and hog rancher, state legislator, president of the Illinois State Farmers' Institute and Deputy Commissioner of the Illinois Commission to the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Surprisingly uncommon and with interesting provenance. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 46546
