The Natural History Museum, London, described its own copy thus: "Today, the work appears to be of extreme rarity, not being held in any other of the United Kingdom's national or public library collections. Only three copies have been found in North American libraries, of which two are certainly fragile and in need of conservation. One copy is in the Austrian National Library" (Great Flower Books [1990], p. 147). - Clean and well-preserved throughout. Nissen, BBI 2062. Stafleu/Cowan 16.153. Pritzel 9764. Wurzbach 50, 282f.
