Rather than just pointing out the plant's usefulness for industrial purposes, Müller pleads for a more extensive use and cultivation of the plant. With two folding engraved copperplate engravings of the plants, it's seeds and flowers, both beautifully coloured by a contemporary hand.With the stamp of the "Naturf. Verein zu Riga" on the title page. A little foxed. A good copy. A rare publication on silk, it's uses and it's cultivation.

About Us
ASHER Rare Books celebrates its 175th anniversary!
In 1830 Adolphus Asher (1800-1853) in Berlin established the firm that still bears its name. He quickly became one of the main agents supplying antiquarian books to the British Museum as well as to eminent nineteenth-century scientists such as Alexander von Humboldt and Charles Darwin.
In 1933 the company was forced to leave Berlin and relocated in Amsterdam. From 1946 onwards the company has issued numerous catalogues in the fields of natural history, science and travel and voyages. After the retirement of Nico Israel in 1995, the new owner moved the company to its present location in IJmuiden, about twenty kilometres west of Amsterdam, where it now operates under the name of ASHER Rare Books. The management is formed by Michael J. Roos and Julius W. Steiner.
