A fine copy of a scarce Shirley Hibberd title. Being a first edition from 1878 of Home Culture of the Watercress - A Practical Guide to the Cultivation of the Watercress. A slim volume with eight black line drawings, published by EW Allen, London.

Inside the pages are clean, bright and tightly bound. Has a neatly-inked inscription on the front free endpaper, but no other writing or markings of previous ownership.

Olive-green boards have ornate stamped border in black to the front, and blind to the back. Has shiny gilt titles. With just the slightest of rubbing to the corners and spine ends, and a mildly bumped front corner on the bottom edge.

Your antique copy of Home Culture of Watercress will be wrapped with care in tissue and ribbon* and sent well packaged with tracking and insurance. I am always happy to add a gift card with a message to the parcel.
