By Romeyn Beck Hough.
Originally published in 14 volumes, assembled between 1881 and 1913, this special edition combines all the valuable and unique specimens into one bargain priced collection. For all American trees, three different cross-section cuts of wood are represented (radial, horizontal, and vertical), demonstrating the particular characteristics of the grain and wealth of colors and textures to be found. Included are lithographs by Charles Sprague Sargent of the leaves and nuts of most trees, as well as texts describing the trees' geographical origins and physical characteristics. Woodworkers and nature lovers will appreciate this volume!
