In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. The true First Edition, 1923. Complete octavo volume (xi, 570 pages). The definitive, classic twentieth-century British botanical monograph and identification reference manual detailing global conifer species, gymnosperms, and the ancient lineage of the Ginkgo biloba. Executed with cli…nical precision by renowned Kew authorities William Dallimore and Albert Bruce Jackson.The text offers exhaustive taxonomic descriptions, geographical distribution metrics, cultivation requirements, and economic timber valuations for every key family unit. Beautifully and copiously illustrated throughout with a fine photographic frontispiece plate, 46 full-page photographic plates showcasing historic arboretum specimens, and 131 highly accurate structural botanical line drawings executed by the celebrated natural history artist Miss G. Lister. Concludes with a comprehensive index and an 8-page publisher's advertisement catalogue at the rear.Condition Report:An exceptionally well-preserved, robust, and heavy volume in solid Very Good condition. Bound in the publisher's original rich forest green cloth with vibrant, bright gilt titles and ruling to the spine. The cloth retains a highly attractive, deep colour profile, exhibiting only minor, surface marks/splashing that are not noticeable under normal room conditions and only discernible when held directly to a raked light source. Structurally square, tight, and remarkably strong. Unlike most surviving copies of this massive, heavy text block, the internal hinges and joints remain perfectly secure and unbroken. Internally brilliant; the high-quality paper stock is exceptionally bright, white, and clean, entirely free from the heavy foxing, browning, or damp stains common to vintage forestry books. Free of any previous owner names, library stamps, or annotations. A superb, reference-grade example of the true first printing.
