1860 FINE BINDING Pluche SCIENCE Spectacle Nature Decorative French Cartonnage

A rare historical book in an exquisite, decorative binding!

Noël-Antoine Pluche was an early 18th-century French priest and historian who is most remembered today for his land mark work of natural history Spectacle of Nature. While this work would have significant influence on botanists and naturalists, Pluche designed the work to be for the general population, not of scientific merit.

This mid-19th-century French edition was published in Tours in an exquisite, embossed gold binding with ornate colorful flower décor.
