Description

First Edition, first printing, and the only printing to contain the photogravure portrait of the author as frontispiece. With 74 illustrations and maps, the illustrations are on glossy plates from black and white photographs. 8vo, publisher’s original royal-blue cloth lettered in gold on the upper cover and spine, map endpapers. xv, 359 pp. A handsome and pleasing copy, internally near as fine with just a touch of toning to ivory as is common, the cloth still rich and dark with bright gilt but with a touch of general soiling minor wear at the tips.
