Description

[COOPER (Susan Fenimore)]: Rural Hours By a Lady. New-York, Putnam, 1851. One volume. 15 by 21 cm. Frontispiece-521 pages, and 19 color lithographed hors-texte plates. Contemporary full brown chagrin, 5-rib spine, richly decorated boxes, triple framing of the boards, with a floral motif in the center, and spandrels, all edges gilt, roulette on the edges, rich inner lace. Joints split, 1st plate separated from the body of the book. Very good condition inside. Although Susan Cooper is considered an amateur botanist, Rural Hours attracted the attention of scientist Charles Darwin and author Henry David Thoreau. She was also active for women's suffrage. The quality of the 20 color illustrations is obvious, and makes the book enviable, despite its flawed binding.
