1883 Familiar Wild Flowers by Edward Hulme / Stunning Victorian Antique Book Fifth Series / Richly Colour Illustrated / In Good Condition

An absolutely beautiful edition of Familiar Wild Flowers by F Edward Hulme. With 40 bright colour plate illustrations and in a gorgeous binding with hand-painted flowers on the front board. In good condition. With a lean and some very faint marks on the back being the only condition points to note.

Hulme produced five series of his Familiar Wild Flowers over the years and this is a fifth series collection with 40 flowers described in detail each with an ornate decorative initial and footer and its own colour plate. Each volume stands on their own individually. The plates are superb, clean and bright - all are present (see photos). This copy has not been written in and there are no other markings of previous ownership.

In a striking green and gold binding with hand-painted flowers on the front board. Has a hand-painted "Vol 5" on the spine in black. The boards are a work of art in themselves and with each copy being hand painted they are all unique. The green cloth covered boards have bevelled edges and a gilt and black border on the front, a blind stamped border on the back board, and a blind stamped floral pattern in the middle of the rear board. The boards are in top order - with just a few very faint marks on the back. The book has developed a lean over time, but the binding is good and strong. Looking extremely eye-catching on display.
