Description: Fourth edition; 64 original plates, a few may be missing. Original cloth binding with yellow, orange, and black decoration on cover and spine. Binding is very worn, with edges frayed and exposed, hinges weak, and some pages loose. Dirt and discoloration to cloth, as well as to pages. There may be a small amount of historic dampstain.
