The McDermott Library’s copy of Flora Londinensis is an exceptionally clean first edition that is virtually free from transfers.

Printed in 1777, it features more than 400 hand-colored engraved plates. No more than 300 were produced, and the McDermott volume is one of the few surviving complete copies. It also marks the library's one-millionth acquisition to its holdings.

Permission to reproduce or publish in any format the materials on this site must be obtained from the Special Collections Department, McDermott Library, The University of Texas at Dallas.
