Description: The liner notes claim this 208 paged hardcover book to be the “most complete survey of this art, and its place in society, politics and science since Eugene Rimmel’s classic work on the subject in 1894”. In fact the “Book of Perfumes” 1865 published in 1865 was a classic of its time, beautifully illustrated with line drawings. Kennett’s book comes with 10 illustrated plates, the first intriguingly of an Indian perfume-distiller, and also with 7 poems variously gleaned from Indian, Persian, Greek and French classics. Very scarce copy of an important book. Seller inventory # M06011
