About this Item

Printed in black with much use of colour especially with the ornaments; Decorated paper-covered boards with matching dust-jacket (slightly torn).Neat ownership signature, but spotting to endpapers. A very good copy indeed. An excellent specimen book. The combination of text in letterpress and litho is particularly good and not easy to differentiate.
