London: Griffith and Farran, 1859. Hard Cover. near Very Good binding. Octavo. [19], [1 (ads)] l., illus. First edition. In publisher's pictorial boards; composed of of 20 leaves including a leaf of advertisements at the rear, all are printed on one side only; hand coloring to the illustrations. This copy has been skillfully rebacked with new sympathetic black endpapers. Rubbing to the covers, as well as some creasing to the top corner of the front and top edge of the rear board; but largely a well preserved copy; internally, there is some light to moderate fingering to the leaves as well as some gentle wrinkling to many leaves. Despite all of this, the copy presents very well. A charming and remarkably uncommon book.
