Bull, Henry Graves, (Gen. Ed.) and Hogg, R. (Tech. Ed.). The Herefordshire Pomona. Containing coloured figures and descriptions of the most esteemed kinds of Apples and Pears. 1st. Ed. Pub. Jakeman and Carver. 1876-1885
Two volume set. Folio. Some minor foxing otherwise the contents are in fine condition. Complete with 77 fine colour chromo-lithographed plates. Handsomely bound in contemporary green half-morocco which is in fine condition. TEG. A lovely provenance - this set has the armorial bookplate of ‘John Hopton of Can-Frome in the County of Hereford’ on the front paste-downs of both volumes. Only 600 sets of this work were ever produced - a super set of this scarce work.
The plates were by Edith Bull, Alice B. Ellis and W.G. Smith (plate 1 only). They were lithographed by G. Severeyns. Published under the auspices of the Woolhope Club. This is one of the finest fruit books ever issued [Great Flower Books, pp.59-60; Nissen 294].
