Condition: Good –  Original green cloth boards with tooled border, clean and structurally sound, with bright, legible gilt lettering to the spine. Moderate wear to the head of the spine with minor cloth loss, and three small areas of hinge wear-through (one front, two rear), though the binding remains firm. Prior ownership inscription dated 1/VIII/28 in black ink on the inner cover. Internally clean, comprising 136 pages plus ten coloured plates and indexes. Plates IV and V show paper loss from past adhesion to the index pages, with corresponding transfer marks, but the volume is complete and the plates retain good colour overall.
