Beautifully bound copy, in full red crushed morocco, with quintessential gilt sporting devices enlivening the binding, and lush silk moire endpapers. Plus a sturdy slipcase with morocco trim. 8vo. 20.5 by 14 cm. iv, [2], 110 pp. . With a dozen hand-colored aquatint plates.

The interior of the book has typical offsetting of the plates, some light occasional soiling, but generally a clean copy.
