First Edition. With 28 fine plates, including 16 in colour and 12 in monochrome, and with 34 line drawings within the text, many of which are quite large, decorated title-page printed in black and red.
Publisher's original olive cloth-covered boards backed in buckram and ruled and lettered on the spine in dark green titling to spine. Top edge of pages green with front and bottom edges untrimmed. Sound and firm with no staining or foxing to contents. A very clean and tight copy, the text clean and fresh, the plates all very fine, the binding solid.
