Description:
LONDON: L REEVE & CO., 1884 Plate volume only. In half leather binding with morocco leather and marbled boards. With 82 finely engraved colour printed plates of butterflies, caterpillars and their food plants. The binding has raised bands to the spine and gilt decoration and titles. It has some scuffing to the spine and wear, and wear to corners, removing the top surface of the leather. With matching marbled endpapers. The front pastedown endpaper has a small hole. The contents have some brown spotting - this mainly affects the initial leaves and early plates, but there is occasional spotting later on. The plates are not tissue guarded so there is some offsetting to the reverse of the preceding plate page. Page edges have browning.

Sacramento: State Office, J. D. Young, Supt. State Printing, 1889. 4th (no, really) printing. Pamphlet. Very Good. 12mo, printed beige wrappers; pp. 35, [1] (illustration), with b/w line drawings throughout. Wrappers with a little creasing, couple of water droplet stains, overall about very good or better. Illustrations are terrific, depicting the various stages of a silkworm's development (the one where it's lifting its cute little head and looking around with curiosity is PRICELESS), written by someone who (as Secretary of the State Board of Silk Culture) takes all of this very, very SERIOUSLY. A rigorous study of all aspects of silkworming, every bit of which is illustrated, in spades (cross-sections of eggs, etc.). It was, evidently, a best-seller in its day: Of the 8 (total) copies in OCLC, 1 was issued in 1886, 2 in 1887, 4 in 1888, and 1 (as this, a poor dejected 4th printing) in 1889 (none thereafter).
