A very good copy of this most attractive book. With blue cloth covers with gilt pictorial design to front and titles to spine. Spine titles a little dulled. Mild spotting to endpapers. Some wear and markings to front inner hinge area, but all soundly bound. Looks like a front blank endpaper has been removed (presumably bearing owner's name).
The text is bright and clean throughout, and the plates are beautifully presented. Some light spotting to text block edges and dust toning to top edge.
