Ekonomisk botanik för landtbruk, trädgårder och apotek. 2 issues (all that appeared).
Stockholm, Delén, 1815 & 1816. 8vo (240 x 145 mm). Bound partly uncut with the origianal wrappers in a nice recent half calf binding. First part with dampstain in inner margin, otherwise a nice copy with the often missing wrappers preserved. (30) pp. + 12 engraved, handcoloured plates.
First edition of this exquisite collection of plates with accompanying text, intended to be a supplement to Palmstruch's Swedish Botany. Originally intended as a grand-scale production spanning 5 to 6 volumes with 12 issues in each volume, the two present issues were, however, all that appeared. The plates are engraved by Ruckman, after Palmstruch.
