Olive green cloth with ivory lettering and black, brown and ivory pictorial stamping. 324pp. Tissue-guarded frontispiece, 5 of 6 called-for full-page plates, decorative endpapers. Very good. Bit of edgewear and rubbing; ownership signature on front flyleaf; inner hinges delicate and rough but expertly, archivally strengthened, thus strong.
