1838033322<p>EDINBURGH: W H LIZARS 1838 A good to very good copy of the 1st edition in the original publisher's cloth binding with 31 hand coloured plates and a hand coloured vignette title page. The binding is clean and sound with light fading to the spine and the board edges. The spine ends have some chipping and there is a small cloth split developing at the top end of the front spine joint. The corners are turned inwards. The original green endpapers are present and are bright and unmarked. Contents: volume listing; half title; black and white frontispiece portrait of Haller; hand coloured vignette title page with picture of Green Tody; 2 further title pages; advert; contents listing; Memoir of Baron Haller; text; and 31 hand coloured plates bound at the rear. This is an unusual copy in that all of the text remains unopened - in the state in which it came from the publishers. The text paper looks quite brown toned. The plates at the rear are all very clean. There is offsetting to the tissue guards. The tissue guard to the frontispiece has been torn out.</p> W H LIZARS hardcover
