Description

Hardcover, rebound in cream colored linen with red leather spine label, lettered in gold. 199 pages. New pale blue end-papers, lacks half-title. All 33 monochrome plates and frontispiece by Peter Newell present. First edition, with matching dates on title and copyright pages. Previous owner’s small round blind-stamp on new front end-paper. A clean, square, unmarked copy in strong, professionally executed early utilitarian cloth covers. Still an attractive copy of the true first edition. Very good or better copy.
