First edition, first printing. Publisher's original burgundy cloth with silver titles to the spine, in the R. J. Hales illustrated dustwrapper. With seven full page scraper-board illustrations (eight if you include the frontispiece that is duplicated on page 35) and numerous other smaller drawings throughout the text by Denys Watkins-Pitchford "BB". An excellent near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the boards a touch bowed. The cloth is bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the very lightly rubbed and nicked, price-clipped dustwrapper that is otherwise without fading, loss or tears. A very attractive example.
