About This Item
Methuen, London, 1903. A reprint of the edition of 1821. Additional coloured pictorial title and 50 fine coloured plates. Large folio (19 x 12 1/4 inches). Original 2-tone cloth; binding very poor and stained. Text with occasional damp-making to fore-margin, with the very occasional slight bleed from the red dye of the binding. The plates however, apart from the last, completely unaffected. The last plate "Owling" has damp mark and bleed to the upper blank margin, the image unaffected. Weight 3.960 kg thus extra overseas postage will be requested.
