Uitgevers-Maatschappij “Elsevier”, 1888. 4to with 40 fine chromolithograph
plates of poultry. Original ornate pictorial and gilt green cloth binding.
This is an uncommon work which is rarely found.
The illustrated drawings are by C. Foerster in the style of A. .J. Ludlow
found in Lewis Wrights Illustrated
Book of Poultry.
All 40 plates are clean
and bright with only occasional light marginal foxing to some of the plates,
confined only to the blank margins, none of which affects any of the
images. Text is in Dutch. A
very nice first edition of this beautiful and rare book.
