A first trade Rackham illustrated edition, complete in the original wrapper. Illustrated with thirty tipped-in plates, each with tissue-guard; collated and complete. Publisher's advertisement pamphlet loosely inserted. Publisher's buckram in unclipped wrapper. The wrapper is a little edgeworn, with loss and significant creasing at the lower corner of the front panel, and some wear to the upper corners. The head and tail of the spine are a little chipped and creasing, the spine a touch discoloured. The rear panel has a few spots of ink. The book is lightly bumped to the corners, the head of the spine being faded, else appearing very bright. The fore edge is spotted as often with Rackham productions. The binding is strained after the front endpaper and a little tender throughout. Prelims with scattered foxing, and some spotting throughout. A smart first Rackham illustrated trade edition, complete in the dust wrapper.
