First Edition and with very good provenance - Robert Lenkiewicz (bookplate in front). Book is in fine condition - nice, bright and tight without any markings or inscriptions; dust jacket has a daub of white paint at bottom of spine  of dust jacket (this was owned by a famous artist after all!) and very slight edge wear on top front, but is still in fine condition  and there was no price printed on original dust jacket so not price clipped. A really nice copy, with an interesting history of a very fascinating subject.

I also have Persian Paintings of the India Office (2764330674710) which was published two years before this volume, also with Robert Lenkiewicz' bookplate. I am happy to sell the two together for £60.
