The folding frontispiece, by Thomas Robins the elder (1716-1770), is apparently the c.1860 version probably printed at the Middle Hill Press - the private press of the book collector Sir Thomas Phillipps (1792-1872) - and so clearly a later addition.

Robins plate also in good condition with a 1 cm. repair in archival tape to verso of one fold.
