Date:1597
Description:An owner of a volume contemporary with Shakespeare has replaced a missing title-page. The decorative title-pages of books have occasionally been damaged, or removed by their owners. This copy of the original 1597 edition has been hand-coloured throughout very soon after it was printed. Its title-page has, however, been removed and replaced with one that has part replaced by a very amateur version of the formal garden. Full Title: John Gerarde, The Herball, [colophon: Edm. Bollifant for Bonham and John Norton], 1597. (Copy with contemporary hand-colouring.)
