CHAUMETON, François Pierre (1775-1819) and others. Flore médicale. Paris: C.L.F.Pankoucke, 1814-1820.
7 volumes, 8° (208 x 128mm). Half-titles. 423 engraved plates, printed in colours and finished by hand, by Lambert jeune after Madame E.Panckoucke and P.J.F.Turpin. (Occasional light spotting or smudging.) Contemporary brown calf-backed boards, the flat spines tooled in gilt and blind with cream leather lettering-pieces (occasional small splits to joints, particularly vol.I, extremities rubbed).
FIRST EDITION. An interesting series, with plates produced during the great period for French colour printing.
