| Description | 1924, 2 vols, folio, with foreword by Lord Rothschild who sponsored Frohawk for many years to produce this work, 4 plain and 60 colour plates, published by Hutchinson & Co, blue cloth binding with both original dustjackets slightly browned with small tears and ragged edges (not great but the best I've seen for a good many years). Contents and covers in very good condition. This is the first book to describe and illustrate all the life stages of British butterfly species. Now the ‘classic' twentieth century work with probably the finest and most comprehensive paintings to have been executed. |
