Photogravure portrait as frontispiece (lacks tissue guard), facsimile letter plate, as called for, original light green cloth-covered boards, gilt titles to spine, related early 20th Century cuttings pasted in at front and back (article from The Observer, 1929 and one by E V Lucas from The Times, 1937).
