Octavo, 172, [2] pages with numerous illustrations and 17 tipped-in bookplates (2 with colour).
Patterned variegated brown cloth lettered in gilt on the spine, all edges uncut; covers slightly bowed; endpapers offset; pastedowns slightly bubbled (probably endemic to the species); overall an excellent copy.
