Sir William Jardine, 7th Baronet of Applegarth FRS FRSE FLS FSA (February 1800 – November 1874) was a Scottish naturalist and well known for authoring and editing many volumes of The Naturalist's Library, a long series of natural history books.
Condition
Each antique print arrives with archival acid-free 2-ply board and in a poly sleeve suitable for archival storage.
Being that this print is over 150 years old, it is in good condition. The colors remain vibrant and stable. The paper is medium weight, strong and not brittle. The reverse side of the print is blank. This print is a full untrimmed page and therefore the binding edge is naturally uneven.
