First Edition
First edition, 12mo, pp. 16 cards with 32 plates + title printed on slip case. 16 loose cards in a cloth slip case, some wear and grime to title page torn at corner with a few small holes, Minor spots of foxing and smudges to cards with ochre and soot coloured finger marks as if they have been used for their intended purpose. Else good. An unusual set of instructions, presumably for use in the classroom of high school or technical college. The exercises seem simple enough but executing them to a high degree of accuracy would have taken skill, care and dedication.
