Rich gilt pictorial spine. = One of the first books especially emaid at sea side visiting tourists. Very well illustrated. The index to the plates mentions a plate G, "Dunlin. - See p. 9", but there is no reference there and obviously this is an error. No plate I was issued either. Small previous owner's stamp on half-title, a few weak spots to, mainly, the verso of plate A (acting as frontispiece), otherwise a very good clean copy in an attractive and well-preserved binding.
