This book is in near-fine condition. It is slightly spayed when laid flat as is often the case when bound in full vellum. The text and ten drawings are in fine condition, with no discolouration. The tissue guards are darkened and some are fragmented. All edges gilt. A very scarce Fanfrolico item. Signed by Illustrator(s).
