First edition published in a small number of copies, one of the hors commerce copies justified by the publisher. Bradel binding in half green cloth with corners, smooth spine decorated with gilt typographical motif, date and double gilt fillet at foot, red shagreen title label, marbled paper boards, illustrated covers with drawings by the author and spine preserved, contemporary binding. Work illustrated with drawings in text and hors-texte by the author. Minimal foxing on endpapers, otherwise a fine copy.
