Description from the seller
Botanical Magazine - THE BLOOMING GARDEN - COMPLETE YEAR 1937 - Hardcover. Complete year of the twelve issues from January to December 1937 of the historic monthly floriculture magazine Il Giardino Fiorito, founded and directed by the renowned scientists and botanists Mario Calvino and Eva Mameli Calvino, parents of the celebrated writer and journalist Italo Calvino. Inside the issues comprising the year are contributions, studies, and specialist articles related to botany and Italian floriculture of the 1930s. The volume is complete with its valuable general analytical index for 1937 placed at the end, extremely useful for alphabetical search of all the botanical varieties treated, and includes the interesting era sections dedicated to readers’ questions and answers. The volume is presented with a solid contemporaneous half-cloth binding, characterized by stiff boards with dark veins and a green spine label with titles and year stamped in gold and perfectly legible. The overall condition is excellent; the binding is tight and compact, the outer boards are intact, and the inner pages remain fresh and clean, showing only the normal and slight foxing of the time that attests to its authenticity and historical charm. An ideal piece for collectors of 20th-century scientific bibliography or for enthusiasts of the Calvino family history. The item for sale is the one shown in the photos and will be shipped traceably.
