First edition. Bound in the publisher's quarter cloth with paper covered boards, a little edgeworn with losses to the corners and edges. The spine ends lightly bumped, the front board bowing a touch. The hinges rather loose, the endpapers toned. The binding rather delicate throughout, with p. 31 loose but present. Ownership inscription to the half title. Leaves rather handled and spotted throughout, particularly to the prelims, closed tear to the bottom edge of p. 29. A decent and uncommon first edition, lavishly illustrated in colour.
