The frontispiece "Flora at play with Cupid" by "gifted" amateur artist Emma Crewe 1780-1850 daughter of John Crewe 1st Baron Crewe was criticized by Richard Polwhele: "she has rather overstepped the modesty of nature by giving the portrait an air of voluptuousness too luxuriously melting." Other plates are studies of the Venus flytrap the Aztec lily tape grass etc. by botanical artist Frederick Polydore Nodder. Also includes the engraving of a cupid playing with fire by Thomas Holloway within the text on page xi. <br /><br />With several fascinating newspaper articles and manuscript note from 1845 tipped in behind the Portland Vase plates. The articles relate to the "Destruction of the Portland Vase" in the British Museum by a drunken delinquent on July 9 1845 his subsequent release from prison and the Duke of Portland's decision to commission the artists Doubleday and Baldock to repair the broken vase. <br /><br />In an unsophisticated but solid later half-leather binding of brown leather and tan cloth gilt title and blind-tooling on spine new endpapers slight toning to frontispiece and title pages but interior clean and bright with little foxing. Some offsetting from plates on to text pages and dust to page edges. J. Johnson hardcover
