Auriol Batten, Flowers of Southern Africa

Auriol Batten, Flowers of Southern Africa. Johannesburg: Southern, 1988.

Large quarto, hardcover, 401 + xxxii, many beautiful colour illustrations after Batten's magnificent botanical paintings.

CONDITION ISSUE: A working copy. While the text block is clean and tightly bound, an earlier owner has ill-advisedly covered the dustwrapper and boards with clear adhesive plastic. This is irreversible.

I have priced the book to take this defect into account.

Limited edition, signed by Batten on the title-page.

Every one of the full-page colour illustrations would frame up wonderfully.
