24mo. 28pp. Handcolored engravings throughout depict the intrepid birds in action, their moments of triumph and of defeat. This edition apparently unrecorded; the text and images appear again in other arrangements and issuances, but this particular state remains seemingly elusive to the bibliographic account. This copy possibly lacking a final leaf, suggested by the final page's declaration of being "almost done," and yet offering nothing afterward. Lacking original wrappers, instead bound in blue-gray paper. Other than the cited defect and trace foxing, very good.
