Top edge gilt. Pp.322, frontispiece + many further plates and vignette illustrations by Edouard Cucuel, small bookseller's label (A.G.Bird. Bookseller, Newport, I.of W) to lower front inside board, faint spotting to endpaers. Pink boards with black illustration and titling, gilt title to spine, spine sunned, wear to top and tail of spine and bumps to corner tips. Scarce. G+.
