Untersuchungen über die Entwicklungsgeschichte der Geburtshelferkroete (Alytes obstetricans)
Inbunden bok.
Gott skick. [Format: 20,5 x 26 cm.] Jent & Glassmann, Solothurn 1842. (X) 134 (1 = inhalt) (3 = plates) pages in a (contemporary, or alittle later) half cloth hardcover with a home made, hand written paper label on spine. Stamp on front paste-down and on half-title (Anatomiska institutionen, Lund 1953. Neat signature of previous owner (G. Schwalbe) on front free endpaper. --- The bookbinder has messed up the pagination in the end (the last folded leaf, making 8 pages) - pages are in correct order but numbers are mixed up. This last section, beginning directly after page 128, is paginated as follows: (no pagination (new chapter)), 132, 129, 130, 133, 134, (no pagination ("inhalt")), (blank). --- The binding is sound and steady and the amount of wear is minimal. Contents are mainly clean and bright. The amount of foxing is very small and spots are very light. The main flaw would be the crease lines that show throughout the book. Thankfully most of them are placed in the margins, but they sometimes reach the text area. Mentioned main flaw is of course of an aesthetical nature - reading of text etc. is not affected.
