Otherwise very good, with only slight wear to the front cover paper onlay. First Edition, binding variant A. The Leighton brothers, George and Charles, were proprietors of a firm specializing in color printing. George Leighton had trained under George Baxter, inventor of the oil-color printing process that was used to produce the plates in this book; the plates are "excellent productions, that would probably be 'collected' if they bore Baxter's name instead of Leighton's" (Burch, p. 148). There are two binding variants: A, as described above; and B, a cloth binding stamped in black and gilt without the paper onlay. Burch, Colour Printing and Colour Printers, pp. 148-149. .
