Stockholm, Zacharias Haeggström, 1853. 12mo (16.7 x 11.3 cm). xvi, 192 pp. contemporary half calf over marbled boards. Spine with gilt floral ornaments and title. Marbled edges. = Not just a well-preserved original copy of an important work by Thunberg's pupil, Carl Johan Hartman (1790-1849), but one with an unusually rich provenance. It contains ownership markings of the following Swedish botanists: Axel Albert Lindström (1864-1946), his inscription, autograph - Axel Lindstrom -, date and place of purchase written in a rather juvenile hand on the front pastedown; his more mature autograph on the title; Gustaf Ekblad - perhaps the Swedish diplomat Nils-Eric Gustaf Ekblad (1904-1978), his name written in the top margin of the front free endpaper recto; his small stamp on the title); Ove Almborn (1914-1992), his botanical bookplate on the front free endpaper recto; Percy Olrog - i.e., the Swedish naturalist Percy Claësson Olrog (1909-1980) his botanical-ornithological bookplate on the front free endpaper verso; Albert Lindstrom - a son of Axel? (his stamp on the title, partly over Ekblad's). Some light foxing throughout, otherwise a very good copy. Stafleu and Cowan, 2427.
