First Edition 6.7 x 9.2 cm leather backed wooden boards with illustrations taken from the book to the front and rear with gilt stamped titles to the spine. All edges gilt, pale yellow endpapers, 116pp with 4 engraved plates. The book is in much better condition than is usually found and unusually the boards have been illustrated with similar illustrations to two of those in the book. It is likely that. as with copies of this edition, the boards are made from timber recovered from the wreck. There is rubbing to the spine tips and minor loss of 1-2mm at the foot of the spine and also to the boards where there has been rounding to the corners with minor loss to the bottom corner of the rear board. Internally there is minor loss to the front free endpaper and an associated 2.5cm closed tear along the front fore edge. There is no name, inscription or bookplate and the pages are surprisingly clean with creases to the very tips of the the top corners of a couple of pages.
