First edition. Large folio (14 1/4 x 10 1/2 inches; 362 x 267 mm.). Twelve hand-colored lithographed plates. Plates lithographed by Engelmann & Langlumé. Bound without the four leaves of text.
Mid twentieth century olive green cloth with red leather spine label ruled and lettered in gilt, plain endpapers. A few minor marginal tears. Front and rear free endpapers a little chipped on fore-margin. An excellent example of this very rare suite.

Rare. OCLC & KVK locate just two examples in libraries and institutions worldwide: Boston Public Library (MA, US); Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (Germany)
