About This Item
london: H F & G Witherby, 1923 A very good copy in the original cloth binding with 3 colour and 4 black and white plates. The binding is very clean with a bright gilt bug to the front board and gilt titles to spine. There is some pulling to spine ends and a small pale spot at the bottom spine end. Bottom corners have tiny corner tip bumps; light wear to top corners. Spine joints with light rubbing. Top page edges gilt. Internally, there is the ownership stamp of George West to the front pastedown and to the gutter of the final leaf. West has written some scholarly notes about the work at the front endpapers and there is a loose sheet where he has written extracts from a review in Nature. Contents are complete and clean with occasional scholarly pencil annotation by West. There is an old paper repair to the side edge of p463 and occasional light spotting - generally in the top margin of the page following a plate.
