ENGELMANN, GEORGE

Cactacae of the Boundary from United States and Mexican Boundary Survey Under the Order of Lietu. Col. W.H. Emory

[Washington], [Government Printing Office], [1859]. First Edition. hardcover. Quarto (8-1/2" x 10-7/8") in a black faux-morocco album folder. Issued a the first part of the second volume of Emory's UNITED STATES AND MEXICAN BOUNDARY SURVEY, this is the preferred second issue with the six pages of corrections at the end and is complete with 78 pages of text and 76 steel-engraved plates of cacti including the important "View Along the Gila." Engelmann was the great American authority on cacti, and many of these engravings are the finest ever made of these plants. Mostly light and scattered foxing. A dampstain, mostly quite faint, affects a dozen or so plates at the bottom portion, but for the most part the effect is negligible. The last two plates, both of seeds, have creases with the final plate the worst having a tear with no loss. Mostly light and scattered foxing.
