Item description from seller

Frederick Warne and Co. 1905. First edition, first impression, the blue variant binding with round pictorial inlay to upper board. In very scarce printed glassine wrapper that has ONE SHILLING NET near the foot of the front panel, with lists of Warne publications to both flaps plus 6 Peter Rabbit Books listed to rear cover, the last being "New Book for 1905. The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle." 10 coloured plates and line drawings to text. The first of Potter's works to be published in a large format and the details of her engaging watercolours are even more enjoyable on this scale. The colour plates are printed on one side of the quality paper; the other side is blank. There is a small crease to the top of page 7 and some sl. browning to both front and rear free endpapers. There is a scant portion of light foxing at the top of the centre fold. A light water stain covers a small triangle portion (4x2cm) to the front cover by the foot of the spine. This stain travels more lightly across the tail of the spine and bottom sixth of the back cover. There is the slightest corresponding rippling to the base of the rear panel of the glassine wrapper. There is a couple of small pieces of the wrapper missing to the tail of the spine and along the top edge of the rear panel there are a couple of pieces missing by the top of the rear flap alongside an open 3cm tear. There is creasing to the front panel of the wrapper. The book is surprisingly fresh and clean and has an unread aspect to it which is unusual for an early first edition of Potter.…
