1829 FLOWERS 1^ed Flora Medica Botany Medicine Color Illustrated 2v SET Spratt

George Spratt’s “Flora Medica” is a rare, early 19^th-century botany encyclopedia noted for its exquisite, hand-colored engravings. This book, collected and edited by the Royal College of Physicians of London contains nearly 200 different illustrations of flowers with descriptions noting their medicinal properties. In addition to the flowers themselves, Spratt included a thorough table of botanical terms and definitions.

This book is considered quite valuable. In fact, the illustrations alone are known to be extracted and sold separately. It is quite rare to find them all intact in such an impressive lot. A must have!
