  • Amazingly beautiful

    An extremely beautifully illustrated book filled to the brim with amazing botanical illustrations of orchids from across the world. Contains and showcases the extensive history of orchid collecting during the Victorian era. The book arrived in very good condition however it does contain a printing smudge that must have happened during the manufacturing of this book on page 318, I don’t know if this on all copies or just on this one individual book, otherwise it was well worth getting for someone who loves botanical history and as a lover of orchids.
