New York: Moffat, Yard & Company, 1910 First edition. Hardcover book . Red cloth, with gilt titles to spine and front, and gilt, silver, red and blue crest to front; no dustjacket- probably as issued. Gilt top page edges. xii, 274pp, quarto. With 65 drawings and paintings by the author in plates, some in colour. Perceptive on the harshness of much traditional Breton life at that time. Good condition: covers mostly bright and clean with some small spots and marks, slight dulling to spine, rubbing with abrasions to spine ends. Most pages are clean, some browning to endpapers, prelims and closed edges; binding for a heavy book is holding well though cracks to both internal hinges at endpapers.
