Description: 4 pp. + 24 plates laid into printed paepr portfolio, as issued. Folio. First edition. Plate 15 has lost the upper left corner (about 1/2" in depth, not affecting the image). Plate 19 has lost three of the four corners (the deepest being about 1/2" and not affecting the image). Plate 23 has two slightly chipped corners, not affecting the image. Plate 24 has three chipped corners, one of which is about 1-1/4" deep and about 4" wide--it does not affect the image, but has carried away the plate number. The text and portfolio are very good, with a little light soiling. Drawings 15, 19, 23 and 24 were printed on wood paper (i.e., veneer). No statement of the number of copies printed is given, but we have not encountered this book before.
