Description: A very good copy of this spectacular, highly sought after book, with the elusive, if shabby, dustwrapper! It is one of a limited edition of 1,500, there are 48 wood engravings, 25 of which are hand coloured. The wrapper is discoloured and marked, has edge chips and tears, and a large chunk missing from the top of the spine. It has been reinforced with pieces of paper stuck onto the reverse, these are now becoming loose. The blue cloth boards are faded to the spine where the wrapper has loss, has very minor edge wear, and a small bump to the bottom edge. The top edge is gilt. The endpapers are lightly browned. Internally, it is very clean, I can find no marks or tears. The binding is sound. It measures 20cm x 27cm.There are 222 pages.
