Fr. Andres Naves.
Manila, 1877-1890.
Royal Folio, four volumes of Text and two volumes of 480 finely
executed and Colored Plates representing the Plant, its Flower, Seeds,
etc. in development. These were originally issued in 80 parts by
subscription at $320.00 the set. They were edited by Sr. Domingo Vidal
y Soler, Ingeneria de Montes, and continued at his death, by his
brother, to completion. Printed on heavy handmade deckle-edged paper
and are bound in the original red morocco, gilt-tooled backs, and red,
black and gold illuminated cloth, heavy board sides, gilt tops, uncut.
The Plates are loose in open-bound folders to match the Text.
Owing to the Destruction of the Remainder of the edition during the
Bombardment of the Philippine ports by Dewey, only about 300 copies of
the work were distributed. I have recently purchased from the widow of
Senor Vidal the few unused copies which escaped destruction, because
of their being in the United States during the Spanish-American War.
The rapidly increasing American interest in the wonderful Botany of
our Island Possessions makes this Monumental Work a necessity in our
Reference Libraries.
Reduced from $285.00 to $165.00.
