With 85 illustrations and 25 maps and plans, several of which are folding and several are in colour. 4to, in very handsome three-quarter period red morocco bordered in double gilt ruling over grained red cloth, the spine with compartments separated by gilt bordered raised bands gilt tooled in a chain motif, lettered in gilt in two compartments and with gilt tooling at head and tail, unobtrusive old shelf label at the tail of the spine, marbled endpapers with engraved museum ex-libris, small shelf stamp at bottom of title leaf, t.e.g. lxxxiii, 483pp., inclusive of index. A very handsome copy in an especially attractive binding which shows only very minor rubbing at the extremities, the period library markings are unobtrusive, the text only lightly mellowed, much less so than is typically encountered. One large folding plan has been very expertly repaired and laid on a linen backing.
