Description

First Edition. Illustrated throughout with many textual illustrations and full page engraved plates. Large 8vo, handsomely bound at a later date to style in three-quarter tan morocco over marbled paper covered boards, the spine with raised bands, one compartment with a red lettering label gilt, another compartment lettered in gilt. [xi], 580, 8 ads. pp. A very pleasing and well preserved copy, the binding in excellent condition with virtually no evidence of use, the text-block with a bit of the inevitable foxing due to the paper used, the plates all quite pleasing even as there is the usual occasional evidence of non-obtrusive spotting here and there.
