{"product_id":"jameson-trees-flowers-england-wales-1909","title":"Antique H.G. Jameson Trees and Flowers of England and Wales 1909 Illustrated Guide","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA practical field guide dressed in the quiet confidence of Edwardian publishing, this 1909 illustrated key to English and Welsh flora was written by H.G. Jameson, M.A. and published by Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent \u0026amp; Co. — the house that put natural history into the hands of schoolteachers, country walkers, and serious amateurs across Britain. The identification system is a branching dichotomous key, working from stem to calyx to corolla, with small botanical line illustrations running along the margins throughout. The olive cloth binding carries an Arts and Crafts-influenced daffodil on the cover and the full title along the spine, and at just half an inch thick it sits well on a shelf or beside a pressed-flower collection. Jameson opens with a George Croom Robertson epigraph — \"We do not know a thing properly until we know its name\" — which says everything about what this book is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap\"\u003e[d]Author | H.G.

The spine lettering remains legible. The text block appears tight with no obvious looseness at the joints. The interior pages show light age toning and scattered minor foxing consistent with a 115-year-old paper stock; the margins are clean and the text throughout is fully legible. A partially legible pencil inscription appears on the front endpaper; the text is not clearly readable and is noted here for transparency. No bookplates, stamps, or other ownership markings observed. A good, honest copy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51402910662934,"sku":"AMD-03113","price":240.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/June_2026_drews_books-8219.jpg?v=1781121893","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie.myshopify.com\/products\/jameson-trees-flowers-england-wales-1909","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
