![I’ve scarcely finished cataloguing this lovely little book of pressed flowers from the Holy Land. Just had to share it with all you. 🌺
Wild Flowers of the Holy Land; Matt. VI, 28, 29, 30 ; London Society’s Mission to the Jews.
[Ferdinand Vester]; London Jews’ Society’s “House of Industry”. Jerusalem, Palestine: Printed at the London Jews’ Society’s House of Industry, Jerusalem, N.D. [Circa 1890’s?]. First Edition. Unpaginated [Fourteen unnumbered leaves]. Oblong 12mo., measuring 12 x 18 cm. Original quarter maroon leather over gorgeous polished bevelled olive-wood boards bearing “Jerusalem” in black atop a deeply carved Jerusalem cross to the front board; like carving to the rear boards with Jerusalem printed in Hebrew characters to the centre; marbled edges, and ivory silk-moiré endpapers. Comprises of eleven beautifully arranged dried flower specimens mounted on stiff leaves, most (excepting two) accompanied with their original, remarkably well-preserved, tissue-guards, and individually captioned with their respective geographic origins (e.g.: “Flowers from Mount Zion”, “Flowers from the Mount of Olives”, etc.). Lightest wear to the leather spine, else, no other flaws noted to the extremities. Faint toning to the title page, otherwise, contents remain near-uniformly without blemish, and with firm, sound binding. A most lovely, and unique period offering from the Holy Land. Rare to be offered in commerce in this edition, and state. This edition unrecorded in WorldCat, however, nominally corresponds to OCLC #753636624 (with notable differences in pagination, and the number of specimens). See also OCLC #698494522.
