A stitched wire border surrounds the embroidery.With a small mounted illustration to the head of the first leaf, and the tail of the final leaf, and with both an engraved and letter-press title page.Letter-press title page unopened to head. In the publisher's original paper covered boards, with dust wrapper. Lacking back strip, with boards exceptionally bright. Dust wrapper significantly age toned to back strip, and lightly age toned to front wrap. Small closed tear to tail of front wrap. Small losses of paper to back strip head and tail. Rear wrap embroidered by hand, with minor light handling marks. Internally, firmly bound. Title page unopened to head. Pages exceptionally clean and bright. Very Good
