First edition. 4to. Tan cloth decorated in blue and black. In the original pictorial dustwrapper which has a colour illustration on the upper cover. Patterned endpapers, decorated title page and fifteen mounted colour plates, one with light corner crease and one mount with corner crease. A very good copy of the book, with some sporadic foxing to the contents and boards a little bowed.
