Descrizione

First edition. With 74 very fine and attractive colourplates from the paintings of Archibald Stevenson Forrest, each with a captioned guard. Tall, thick 8vo, in the publisher's original pale blue cloth, the upper cover and spine both decorated with ships, craps, clouds and sunbursts in brown, ivory and gilt and with gilt lettering, t.e.g. ix, 272, 4 ads, pp. A handsome copy, the plates all fine and bright, some very occasional and light foxing within the text, the lovely decorated binding is solid and firm with very little sign of wear but with a bit of mellowing to the spine, front endpaper with cosmetic only spitting at the still-strong hinge.
