Beautifully illustrated by Sauter in pen and ink with blue color to some, full color frontis.

The DJ was protected by a tripart folding cloth-covered box which is also in good condition with just a bit of sunning to the spine edge. This folding box fits into a 1/4 morroco slip case with gilt to spine. The leather on the spine is worn at the raised bands, some rubbing to the case at all extremities and especially the back, but still good. Very hard to find in this complete and lovely 4 part package -- book, DJ, protective folding case and slip case. ; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; 63 pages .
