Item description from seller

128 illustrations of which 11 are in colour - see example images. Plus illustrated section on marks, inscriptions, and Chinese characters. This is No. 271 of a first impression of 1.500 copies. Umber cloth boards with gilt (gold) decoration on front board and titles along the spine. Condition (external): some fading and rubbing in places; especially at the head and tail of the spine and at the boards extremities. Condition (internal): the first front endpaper has detached from the book block - see image (NB. which also outlines details around the book's edition). There is also mild to moderate tanning throughout; more prominent on the book's preliminary and final pages (plus on the tissue guards). Most of the illustrations appear to be less affected. This is an ex-library book (East Sussex County/Brighton Reference Library). The front paste down has a couple of library-related labels. Generally the library provenance is under-stated although it is the case that there is an oval purple ink library stamp on each of the blank pages directly opposite the tissue guards/illustrative plates. Plus very occasional ink notations; mainly on preliminary pages. pp. 240, followed by the unpaginated plates (see above)/4to. Respectfully dedicated to H.R.H the Crown Prince of Sweden. More information/photos on request. Please note that, depending on destination, we may request a payment to cover any extra shipping/postage charges (e.g. weight-related for heavier books like this one). Proceeds to Amnesty International. Abe2441.…
