Rede, Geraldine. Geraldine Rede Made this Little Book of Australian Trees. 239 Collins St. Melbourne 1909. 12 woodblock illustrations, some with color of eucalyptus, honeysuckle, ti tree, cherry, she oak, wattle. Sml. 8vo, 5 1/4 7 1/2", pictorial paper wrappers with silk ties, pages folded accordion style. Covers little dusty and rubbed o/w vgc. These Japanese style wood block prints delicately suggest the essence of Australian trees & native flora.

Simply charming.
