1908 Familiar Trees by GS Boulger - Illustrated Antique Book

In very good condition, here is an antique hardback copy of Familiar Trees by GS Boulger. Two series bound into one more recent binding. Published by Cassell & Company, London. With numerous superb colour plates.

A beautifully written Victorian guide to Britain’s native and cultivated trees, George S. Boulger’s Familiar Trees offers clear descriptions, botanical notes, and engaging natural‑history observations. This accessible yet scholarly volume introduces readers to the identifying features, habitats, and seasonal character of common trees, making it a favourite among collectors of 19th‑century botany and countryside literature.

Perfect for enthusiasts of Victorian natural history, tree identification, and illustrated field guides, as well as anyone who appreciates classic works on the British landscape.

Inside the pages are clean, bright and tightly bound. With mild spotting through the text. Has the occasional ink mark. Some of the colour plates are missing their tissue guards. The outside edges are speckled red. Tight and square.

In a more recent light brown cloth binding. Gilt titles to the spine. All in top order - clean and smart.

Your antique copy of Familiar Trees will be wrapped with care in tissue and ribbon*, and sent well packaged. I am always happy to add a gift card with a message to the parcel.
