Descrizione

LIMITED AND NUMBERED First edition thus, the very fine facsimile reproduction of the first edition of 1895, identical to that edition but with opening preface and new portrait added. Illustrated as the original with a great profusion of specially produced full-page plates, textual illustrations and fine full-page gravures on special stock. Added for this edition is new portrait of the author and vignette title-page preceding those of the original edition which are also included. Large Folio, publisher’s white cloth, pictorially decorated just as the 1895 edition with sable and kudu heads and with titling in black on the upper cover and spine, t.e.g., housed in the original publisher's box with printed and decorated cover. [8], x, 236 pp. A very fine and handsome copy in the rare publisher's box, the cloth with just minor evidence of handling as should be expected of white cloth, the box with a little wear at the corners but still very attractive and useful.
