Once listed, thi…s will be the Only copy with its dust jacket (original) for sale anywhere on the Internet. You can see the covers in the photos. There are some spots of color loss, a few off the front top edge, also off the front side of the spine, several on the spine, several on the rear cover. The gilt lettering on both the front cover and the spine is quite bright, the advantage of having a dust jacket's protection. The top page edge is gilt. It too is quite bright and shiny. The middle and bottom page edges are exceptionally clean, as is the top one. I don't see any soiling at all. The cover edges are in solid shape. The bottom ones have very light and superficial rubbing, no rub-through. The corners have very small spots of rubbing with color loss. This large and heavy book is square and the spine is straight. The binding is very solid from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The interior of the book is in excellent condition. I would rate it alone as Near Fine to Fine. This is a book published in 1927. It has been treated very respectfully by myself and the previous owner or owners. I'm not finding any instances of soiling. I'm not finding any instances of creasing. The tissue guards which precede and introduce the drawings are in excellent condition as well. They each have red lettering giving their number and the name of the subject or subjects that follow. Scrolling through, I didn't find any soiling on any of the tissue guards. I didn't see any tears. Toward the end of the book there is a little bit of mild crinkling on them, nothing significant. There are no markings anywhere in the book. There's a tiny Brentano's bookseller label off the bottom edge of the rear inside cover. There are no other attachments. This book is NOT ex-library. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. The one-of-a-kind dust jacket can be seen in the first few photos. Surprisingly it is in quite nice condition, very clean, only a few edge tears and a few small losses. The flaps are very clean as well. There isn't any print on them. They are not priced or clipped. Obviously I have always had the jacket in a fitted protective cover. That's causing a little zig-zag glare in the photographs of the front and rear sides of the jacket. Curiously, under the dust jacket, and over the book, there was (is) also a glassine jacket. The first section of the book is organized by the year the drawing was made. Underneath the year each work is numbered and there is a description which states the name of the subject, his or her (only a few hers) profession, something specific to the portrait, also the medium, and the previous owner. For example a portrait of Lord Alfred Bruce Douglas was 'formerly the property of Mr. Oscar Wilde and Mr. More Adey'. This section runs 121 pages. Before this section begins there is a page titled Errata Et Addenda. And there is a bound-in Erratum slip in front of the tissue guard for British physician and ethnologist Gabriel Seligman. The erratum slip states 'Professor C. G. Seligman' and 'See also page 120 under Gabriel Seligman'. Did Professor Seligman object? What's the big deal, Gabby? The weight of the book packed will be approximately eight pounds which will mean it has to be sent Priority if the buyer is outside the U.S.
