Description

First edition. Illustrated with 23 tipped-in color plates by Edward J. Detmold. 4to, publisher's original tan cloth, the upper cover with an elaborate pictorial decoration of a falcon in red with lettering in green, the spine gilt lettered with decorative tool in red. xvi, 152 pp. A very nice copy, free of the inevitable browning to the endpapers. The binding attractive and sound, hinges fine and firm, the plates bright and pleasing.

Edizione: a very pleasing copy and quite scarce in this condition. these illustrations represent, in our opinion, detmold's very best work. their grace and sensitivity reflect a certain eastern sensibility. the artist’s powers in the delicate communication of nature’s spirit are exemplified by these wonderful paintings, rich with the wide variety of the colours in the spectrum.
