Claude Casimir Gillet - Nouvelle Flore Française - Claude Casimir Gillet, 1898. Published in 1898 by the publisher Garnier Frères, this copy of the seventh edition of Nouvelle Flore Française, edited by MM. Gillet and J.-H. Magne, is a botanical reference work measuring approximately 22.9 x 15.2 cm and comprising 782 pages. It features a period leather binding with a spine decorated with gilt tooling and a contrasting title label, revealing a generally good state of preservation, despite the presence of some natural acid stains in the text block which in no way compromise the integrity of this work. Notable for its practical organization in dichotomous tables that facilitate the identification of wild and cultivated plants in France, it is an indispensable technical reference manual for collectors and botany enthusiasts.
