1st edition, card covers, 80 pages, fully illustrated throughout in colour and b&w. Pub in association with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. A very good clean copy. Card covers show only the slightest handling wear.
Fascinating account of the botanical contents of the young pharaoh's tomb. Each chapter consists of two parts. The first describes the objects found - wreaths, furniture, textiles etc. The second describes individual plant species and their uses. Cross references are provided between the two sections and drawings and photos are integrated with the text.
