Hardback published by Sampson Low, Marston and Company in 1897.
Green cloth boards with gilt spine titles and gilt vignette to front, all edges gilt. Moderate edge wear to boards and bumping to spine. Significant wear to spine (hence 'fair' overall) - see photos. Binding is tight but slight movement to both boards at hinge. A few foxing spots to end pages but text and plates are very good; clear and bright with no markings or inscriptions.
