Quarto. (207)pp. One of 200 copies. Illustrated in color by T. M. Cleland, who printed the images in each copy using the silk screen method. Laid in is a note on the manner of the book’s design and printing, including an explanation of the illustration process. Roderick Cave cites this as “an example of the luxurious book at its most magnificent.” Spine a trifle sunned, else fine in full brown calf, with gilt-stamped lettering piece on spine. Housed in publisher’s brown cloth-covered slipcase. (Cave, The Private Press, p. 228; Cahoon, p. 82).
