First Edition (first printing), in the scarce first issue binding of yellow buckram, blocked in green at the backstrip with gilt lettering and decoration. Tall 8vo. xiv, 189pp. Minton contributes a frontispiece, a title page decoration, eight full-page colour plates, 42 full-page black and white plates, and 39 further black and white tail-pieces and drawings in the text. A very light scattering of spotting to the top edge, and a trace of bruising to the backstrip ends. Free endpapers and pastedowns spotted, and with a tiny dealer plate to the base of the front pastedown. Very good indeed in the magnificent double-spread pictorial colour dust wrapper, non-price-clipped (21s. net), but lightly rubbed at several extremities, with a short jagged tear to the base of the front panel, a three-inch tear to the front panel-front flap fold, and a minute area of enclosed loss from the spine panel. A quite wonderful production, and most uncommon in this correct first issue binding.. Book. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover.
