Description

First Edition. With 60 very fine and beautiful tipped-in colourplates by Irish watercolourist Mima Nixon. 4to, publisher's original vermilion cloth decorated on the upper cover and spine in the motif of a stylized garden gate in white and burgundy, gilt lettered on the spine and the upper cover, t.e.g. xii, 317 pp. A very nice copy, the cloth solid and clean, the spine mellowed to a pleasant and uniform tone of peach, a touch of wear to the tips and extremities. Internally a very fresh and bright copy, the plates are all perfect, with absolutely none of the typical foxing, a touch of offset across from some of the plates as they were issued without tissue guards.
