55 coloured plates, over 60 drawings on wood.

This rare book is far from perfect with foxing throughout, discolour, some tears here and there, missing jacket and dog ears in places.

There are a couple of small inscriptions one in pencil, the other in pen.

The book may have been recovered, I am just not sure.

Please study pictures and report.

Questions welcome.

More pictures available on request.

Please be sure to study pictures and report.

To sum up, a lovely rare book with wonderful illustrations and plates but not in great condition. If you want perfect, unfortunately this one is not for you.

Thank you.
