A splendid copy, easily very good plus in blue greg cloth with bright gilt titles on both the front cover and the spine. A series of black geometric lines also on front and spine. Top edge gilt. Very slight wear at the corners and spine ends. A hint of foxing occasionally, but not affecting the fine plates nor the tissue guards with captions.Nicholls, the artist, was known for floral and landscape watercolors, and these are evocative of sunny days in Cornwall. Inman 138.
