London: E. & F. N. Spon

1885 [Prior owner's inscription dated Christmas 1884]

First Edition

Octavo, xii, 702, 16 pages, publisher's original brick red cloth covered boards lettered on spine in gilt, lettered and decorated on top board in black. Illustrated throughout in black and white. Some signs of rubbing and wear, textblock cracked through in one place (this apparently is very common with this book as all other copies I was able to locate for sale had this condition problem. This copy is in the best condition of any that are currently being offered for sale.) Prior owner's ink inscription, some discoloration, else in good + condition.
