Photographic frontispiece in b.w. with tissue guard by Cherry Kearton, 12 coloured plates from paintings tipped-in, numerous b.w. photos throughout, pp. iv, 372. gilt dec. embossed green cloth binding, all edges gilt. Other than minor foxing to the frontispiece, the entire contents are unmarked and in perfect condition, the upper cover has a few spots and the rear hinge is cracked but holding. Overall, a very good copy of an interesting book covering aspects of a wide range of subjects: animals, birds, fish, cliffs, clouds, fungi, gardens, insects etc. The first of three volumes though not marked as being volume 1 (other than by a single star at the foot of the spine). A heavy book which may require additional postage. 4to.
