Intro by Oliver Wendell Holmes, text by Lorin Dame, and art by Henry Brooks. Photogravure plates mounted within, 58 in total. A large book, at 14.25″x11.5″. Blue cloth cover with gilt letter and gilt upper page edge. General cover wear, scuffing, marks, rubbing, and bumping. Internally, pages generally clean and bright. Paper at front hinge fully cracked. Additionally, full separation at block, with splitting, at a plate approx. 1/3rd of the way through book, likely due to over-opening and the heavy weight of the book.
