| Title | Wild Flowers |
| Author | Pratt, Anne |
| Edition | First Edition |
| Published | The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge London 1857 |
| Illustrator | Pratt, Anne |
| Description | 2 Vols. Volume 1 with 192 pages night blue endpapers and 96 full page coloured plates, text with a very occational mark or foxing. Volume 2 has the same no. of pages and colour plates. Original green, gilt stamped cloth. Some defects to endpapers. Bright impressions of coloured, full page plates. Anne Pratt (1806-93), a grocer's daughter from Kent and author of Common Things of the Seaside and Our Native Songsters, illustrated all of her own botanical books, and in the spirit of the Victorian Naturalists, successfully merged the study of botany with romantic flower-lore. Wild Flowers is Miss Pratt's first botanical work. In 1855, she produced her hallmark work on British Flora: The Flowering Plants and Ferns of Great Britain, (Blunt p. 236). A handsone little set with fine illustrations. |
