Hardback. Fair. Lendon, W W. Bodley Head, London, 1922; small 4to, pp vii, [37]; half dark red roan, red cloth, marbled end papers; both boards detached, corners and spine rubbed; frontispiece and five full page coloured plates and a further two line drawings for chapter heads; printed on thick paper; some scattered foxing but internally in good, clean, tight condition.
