Description
8vo., First [and Sole?] Edition, with a lithographed frontispiece, 39 full-page lithographed plates by the author (all original tissue guards present), and 2 full-page maps in the text; original printed boards, cloth back, brown paper endpapers as issued, some glue-staining in gutters (production fault) else a very good, crisp, clean copy. Deceptively detailed survey with delightful if naïve-style illustrations. Clearly an extended labour of love, its local production standards are very much part of its charm. Extremely scarce.
