Inside the pages have some tanning and spotting throughout the text. Tanning and spotting also to the closed outside edges, with toning along the top. Lacks the blank front free endpaper and so opens directly on to the half-title page where there is an inked inscription in the top corner from 1922. All twelve colour plates are present as called for, and all in good order.

Light-brown cloth over boards have eye-catching decoration to the front and spine. This has all remained in very good order. Some slight rounding to the corners and spine ends. The spine has tanned ever so slightly in comparison to the front/back. A striking volume on display.
