I have here for sale a book entitled PLATES ILLUSTRATIVE OF NATURAL HISTORY Part V.  Published in 1850 by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge.  This volume should have 30 plates in it but there are only 8 left, so you are buying 8 natural history plates with descriptive text underneath each one.  I have: The Shrew; The Three-Toed Sloth; The Armadillo (colour); The Anteater or Ant-Bear; The Duck-Billed Platypus (colour); The Common Kingfisher (colour); The Blind-worm or Slow-worm; and The Common Scorpion and the Locust (2 on one page).

Black blind embossed hardboards with gilt title lettering to the centre of the front board.  Spine is torn in a couple of places and there is one tear to the top edge of the front board.  Title page is torn and creased and detached along with a tissue guard and the first plate.  The Kingfisher plate is also detached.  Other pages are still attached.  29 x 35 cm.
