Two volumes, both bound in publisher's half red calf with gilt titles and decoration to the spine. Top edges gilt, others uncut.

Volume one contains 45 plates, consisting of nine plates of flies (reproducing those in vol. two), 18 colour charts and 18 mounted photogravures on India paper. Further illustrations in the text. Volume two contains 33 actual tied flies, tied by Hardy Bros or C. Falrow's, according to the author's specific instructions, displayed in sunken compartments on nine heavy board mounts.
