Black cloth with gilt lettering to spine and gilt stamped pear design to upper board. Illustrated endpapers. Spine sunned and cocked. Rubbed, corners lightly bruised. Prelims foxed, occasionally, text block. Else, tight and bright, especially Hassall's detailed woodcuts.

In 1972 she became the first female Master of the Art Workers' Guild.
