Photogravure frontispiece, 15 photogravure plates, and 3 color plates of flies. 152, [1] pp. Printed by the DeVinne Press. 1 vols. 8vo. Original parchment-backed boards, printed paper label, minor foxing to upper quarter of front cover, else a fine copy. In open-faced paper case. First edition, Number 61 of 100 copies printed on Imperial Japan Paper. Photogravure frontispiece, 15 photogravure plates, and 3 color plates of flies. 152, [1] pp. Printed by the DeVinne Press. 1 vols. 8vo. A splendid work of unsurpassed, almost lyrical, prose and superb photogravures - and of predictable rarity. This is one of two versions, and, as it contains 152 pages against 143 in the other, mostly expanding the data on the Salmon, Bruns believes that this may "have been a reserved presentation copy, with additions by the author" Bruns D25; Gee 88; Litchfield 71; Bibliotheca Salmo Salar 74
