About this Item

Octavo. 511, [1] pp., illus. First edition. As issued in light blue cloth with vignette title in gold on the front cover and spine; with original 16-page prospectus in printed wrappers. Binding is a bit soiled and dulled; binding and textblock are generally solid; residue from tape on both front and rear free endpaper; otherwise contents clean but for a previous owner penciled note on the front free endpaper. Prospectus is worn; covers are detached and soiled but present; early tape repair to the top corners of a few leaves. Still, scarce with prospectus.
