one of 150 copies - illustrated by J.D. Fergusson

The correct first printing of this impressively produced book. This first printing was put out and sold by subscription to some 150 people whose names are listed as an appendix. A second impression was printed in 1956 for general release. The illustrations are amongst Fergusson's best.

First edition, first impression, one of 150 copies; 4to; decorations by J.D. Fergusson; publisher's green cloth, device to upper board by J.D. Fergusson gilt, titles to spine gilt, with the dust jacket; an unusually nice copy in the very slightly faded dust jacket with a single, short tear.
