Description: First edition thus, four volume softcover set printed on handmade paper and bound in full vellum with hand-sewn head bands, green ribbon closures, cream placeholder ribbons, and gilt top edge treatment. Published between 1910-1911, marked limited no. 135/500 paper copies, and one of ten vellum copies for sale. The first volume is SIGNED by the illustrator (Flint) at the limitation statement. All four volumes have waving to their text blocks with some bubbling and warping to the vellum covers and to the paste downs. The set also has rubbing with some areas of discoloration to the covers, light bumps to the spine ends and cover corners, mild sunning to the spine, a touch of bowing to the head bands, and varying degrees of wear to their placeholder ribbons. Additionally, Volume I has some shallow creasing to the vellum at the head of the spine, and lacks the placeholder ribbon, while Volume IV has significant damage to its upper rear closure ribbon with only about half of it remaining. Otherwise this is a solid, tight Good+ four volume set. Additional images are available upon request.
