This little book is bound in a dark coloured leather on soft boards, with gilt title to spine. Rounded corners, full gilt page edges. Black end papers, previous owners gift inscription to fly page. Full page colour illustration plates to frontispiece and half title pages, as well as several other plates throughout this charming book.

Binding is sound though there is an overall slant to this volume, as is common with miniature books that have spent years travelling in people's pockets and retailer bags. Some markings and scratching to gilt edges. Rubbing around corners and edges of the leather boards and spine, some areas of light chipping to binding and fraying to ribbon marker
