Description

First edition, in the publisher's rare best binding. With over 100 very fine full page engraved plates and 300 engravings within the text, many of which are quite large, title-page printed in red and black. Folio, publisher's very deluxe binding of full vellum over thick boards, the covers with a handsome frame of double-gilt ruling, the upper cover also with bold gilt lettering, the spine with a gilt lettered green morocco label, just above and below the label, and at the tail of the spine, is fine gilt tooling and multi rules in gilt, the turn-ins and the board edges are elaborately gilt tooled, fine marbled endpapers and a.e.g. xiii, 468pp. A beautiful copy of a most beautiful book, the vellum is solid with no bowing or warping, a bit mellowed as would be typical with vellum and with very light evidence of age, a very impressive copy, small abrasion to the morocco label, the text essentially pristine, but for some very minor spottiness from age to the first few and last few pages only, the biding tight and strong.
