I have a copy of an 1853 Flora's Dictionary by E.W. Wirt. It contains
nine color plates (two additional plates have been removed at some
time in the past). This edition was published by Lucas Brothers of
Baltimore and was a presentation edition with a presentation color
plate page and Mrs Wirt's autograph. The condition unfortunately is
poor; some water damage on the text pages, the book is split from the
spine,the red and gold leather cover is damaged, and foxing on the
plates. This book has been in my famly since it was published. I
understand that these editions with the color plates may have some
value. Any advice would be appreciated.
