About This Item
London: Chapman & Hall, 1893. Hard Cover. Very Good binding. Octavo. vi, [2], 256, 4 (ads) pp., frontis., plates, illus. First edition. In publisher's cloth with arrowhead motif in gilt on the front board, all for inserted plates present as called for. Spine a bit sunned; binding is a trifle rubbed but presents fairly well. An adhesive mend to the front hinge has left the front free endpaper unable to lay flat when the front cover is opened; endpaper at the rear hinge is separated, but the hinge remains relatively stable. This is Variant 1 without the publisher's device in blind on the rear board. Payne A7a.
