This hardcover retains its original dust jacket, showing only light shelf scuffs that attest to gentle decades of display. Inside, crisp pages remain unmarked and tightly bound; two dog-eared corners and faint bottom creases are noted for accuracy. An impressed ex libris stamp on the front blank sheet quietly signals provenance without intruding on the artwork.
Ideal for adults and young adults drawn to food-and-drink culture or artistic studies of flora, this 1975 edition offers both visual inspiration and shelf presence. Searchers of vintage illustrated books, Francesco Bianchini art volumes, or unique gifts for botany enthusiasts will find this copy ready to grace a curated library or coffee-table stack.
