Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Second Edition. (xxiii)68pp. Quarto. 28 x 22 cm. Nonpareil colored marble boards. Black leather spine and corners. Spine has six panels and five raised bands. Gilt lettering on spine.

Thirty-one illustrations. Errata slip before the text. Slightly bumped corners and spine. In very good condition.
