Hollis & Carter, [1950] 4to., First Edition, with a coloured frontispiece, title in blue and black, title-vignette in monochrome, 15 coloured plates and numerous monochrome illustrations in the text, small 'dog-ear' (without loss) at lower corner of front free endpaper and half-title, some very mild offsetting from fold-ins to free endpapers; original decorative buckram gilt, gilt back, a remarkably bright, crisp, clean copy in unclipped dust jacket, the latter lightly frayed at tail of backstrip (not affecting lettering) and with some light soiling against the (predominantly white) lower panel. An unusually nice copy of BB's classic work, free from inscriptions and price-clipping. With a small early twentieth century trade ticket on front paste-down.
