Description

The Natal Museum, 1914-1925. Large 8vo (23.8 x 15.7 cm). Four papers in one. 205 pp. [55;44;58;48]; eight lithographed plates [3;2;2;1], of which three much larger, folded. Dark blue buckram with gilt title on the spine. = Henry Clifden Burnup (1852-1928) was the most important writer on southern African terrestrial gastropods of the early 20th century. He paired a profound knowledge with great artistic skills, as shown by the fine illustrations that he made for these studies, which were all published in the Museum's Annals. Bound for the American malacologist Richard Irwin Johnson (1925-2020), with his stamp above the drophead titled of the first paper. The first paper a bit wavy, and one text leaf lower margin with a repair, but otherwise a very good, clean set.
