CONDITION
A good first edition. The cloth binding is good with just a light bit of sun-fading to the bottom edge of the front board. Endpapers good. Neat inscription to front endpaper. All contents present including all 16 tipped-in plates. Pages clean throughout but page 32 and 33 have brown mark where once there was a piece of paper laid in (see last image provided). All colour plates are very good. Overall a very good copy.
