1st edition. 8vo. 272pp. plus 12 plates. Text block remains clean and bright, overall very good, but tape repair marks and some separation to joins of front free end paper, half title, frontis piece and title pages. Rest of volume intact, tight and unaffected. In original blue cloth boards a little marked and faded, spine tanned. Good.
