Very good copy of Volume LXXIII (73) of the whole series (Volume 3 of the Third Series) of Curtis's Botanical Magazine, 1847.
Complete with all 70 (13 folding) hand-coloured botanical plates (No. 4275-4344).
All plates drawn and lithographed by the prolific botanical artist Walter Hood Fitch.

The dynamic illustrations of flowers and leaves take up the whole plate, and are crammed with details of the seeds and fruits.
Sir William Jackson Hooker (1785-1865) was one of the great botanists, professor at Glasgow University and later director of Kew Gardens in 1841. He edited Curtis's Botanical Magazine from 1826 onwards, and brought in talented young fabric printer Walter Hood Fitch in 1834.
Walter Hood Fitch (1817-1892) was a botanical artist from Glasgow, Scotland, who drew over 10,000 botanical illustrations in his long and productive working career. He drew some 2,700 lithographic plates for Curtis's Botanical Magazine over a period of more than 40 years, only leaving in 1877 after a pay dispute with new editor Joseph Dalton Hooker (Sir William's son).
Contemporary full leather binding, spine with red and black leather title labels, gilt decoration, front hinge cracking and leather dry, but book block solid. All botanical plates bright and clean with vibrant hand colour, all with tissue guards, a few with slight spotting at the folds, dust at the edges. Ink stamp of the "Royal Society of Edinburgh" on title page.

Description:
Paris, 1868. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good. First Editions, 7 volumes published between 1868 and 1873. A complete set of what must have been one of the most impressive bibliographical publications of 19th Century France - indeed Europe. Copiously illustrated with facsimiles and colour reproductions, (many of which are fold-out and impressively large) of remarkable manuscripts and bindings throughout history. In contemporary 1/4 calf with raised bands and blue labels at one stage this set must have been particularly eye-catching but sadly time has taken its toll somewhat. In various states of condition ranging from Good/VG to Fair only. Most with substantial off-setting in places, many tissue-guards missing from the plates. Some occasional spotting and damp-staining to odd volumes but not terribly so. The bindings are overall in Fair condition with several split (and one entirely loose) backstrips and corners. This has been a working set and as well as bearing the bookplate of their original owner at…

Description:
This book is bound with leather covers and a cloth spine. There is a label on the front cover which is not readable. New endsheets have been added at some point in the book's long history, but the original endsheets and covers are present. There is a former owner's inscription on the original front endsheet. Pages are intact and the binding is tight. The book contains black & white drawings of muscles, bones, and bandages. There is an index for medicines and an extensive table of contents of body parts, diseases, syndromes, and treatments. Printed in the year 1846, the book itself is, in essence, a time capsule that portrays how medicine was practiced aboard an early nineteenth century sailing ship. This will make a wonderful addition to the library of the collector of medical memorabilia.
