This is the 'Edition Royale' version of the book which was limited to just 45 copies, of which this is numbered 13. Signed by the author. 570 Copies of the book were printed for sale.

The two books are in near fine condition - full vellum covers, with Yap fold protecting the contents. The vellum is lightly worn with a few marks. Inside the endpapers are marbled with gilt dentelle inner edges. Discrete bookseller's sticker to first pastedown. Vol II is slightly more rubbed than Vol. I, and with just a little cracking to front endpaper joint, but both volumes are soundly bound. Gilt lettering to covers, and with original red silk closure ties (frayed and torn). All soundly bound. The colour plates are beautifully presented, with captioned tissue guards. Text is bright and clean throughout and printed on a substantial high quality paper. Top edge is gilt and remains shiny, with other edges uncut. A most handsome set, in two volumes, complete.
