Full leather binding with five raised bands, gilt decorations and titling on the spine. Clean text; marbled endpapers, 370 pages (with a Dedication using 105 of those). Distinguished by 42 spectacular illustrations. Rubbed at the margins, covers cracked at the spine; the spine rubbing rather extensive. Pages 171-190 are present but have come loose.
