The British Library copy shows the illustrated plates as coloured as well as throughout text. To our copy the plates have not yet been coloured and are also bound following the preface. Therefore, it is possible that this copy was issued before publishing was complete, or it is an early publisher's proof. CONDITION In a quarter cloth binding with a hand written spine label. Externally, sound with slight bumping to the extremities and to the head and tail of spine. Spine has faded due to sunning. Internally, binding tender for two of the plates, otherwise generally firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd spot throughout.
