Botanical Guide Book - Wild Flowers at a Glance

Wild Flowers at a Glance by M.C. Carey and Dorothy Fitchew—a beautifully illustrated guide designed for quick wildflower identification in the field.

264 full-colour botanical illustrations showing British wildflowers organised by family, with clear descriptions of where they grow, when they flower, and how to tell similar species apart. 

Published mid-century with the original dust jacket intact, featuring a delicate watercolour illustration of wild roses. Inside, each flower is painted with botanical accuracy—showing the whole plant, leaf structure, and flower detail needed for proper identification. Corn crowfoot, marsh marigolds, buttercups rendered in soft, precise watercolour.

Condition:
Vintage with character. Dust jacket shows age-related wear, fading, and some edge tears but is present and legible. Hardcover beneath is in good condition with light shelf wear. Pages are clean with minimal yellowing—bright enough to see the illustrations properly. Binding is sound. A well-preserved copy considering its age, clearly kept with care.
