Description

2 volumes. First Edition thus, an early American issue, printed in Edinburgh and one of the earliest of the 20th century printings issued with the plates in colour. John Grant's 1903 imprint supplied the illustrations only in black and white. With 320 impressive illustrations in colour carefully engraved from the author’s original paintings and including 3 maps in colour, one of which is folding. Tall, thick 8vo, publisher's original crimson cloth, lettered in gilt and black and beautifully decorated with gilt and black pictorial vignettes on the upper boards and spines in all over designs, the volumes now preserved in a specially made slipcase. 298; 290, appendices pp. A handsome and well preserved copy in very pleasing condition. There is only light evidence of age or use. The maps and plates are all present and in especially fine order, the text-block very clean and near as pristine. The bindings are tight and strong. An important and iconic work with the most desired colourplates.
