About This Item
London & NY: George Routledge & Sons, (1882).. Small folio (10 x 13 inches). Pictorial boards. 64pp. Illustrations include fifteen chromolithographic plates by Robert Talbot Kelly, four of which are double-page. A complete, but somewhat worn copy with some loss to the front cover illustration (the elephant), wear to tips and lower spine, tears to the margins of several plates (a couple of which affect color plates), and one plate which has stuck to the adjacent page, damaging both pages. The inner front hinge shows wear as well. The majority of the color plates are in nice shape. Striking images. Very scarce.
