(Book #ID 73439)

Published by Henry G. Bohn, York Street, Covent Garden, London not dated circa 1860. London circa 1860.

Uniform matching hard back binding in publisher's original brick red cloth covers, gilt title, author lettering and volume numbering to the spines, small gilt vignette to the upper panels, top edges gilt. 8vo. 7'' x 5''. The tissue guarded colour plate collation is as follows: Volume I has 34 colour plates plus monochrome frontispiece and monochrome vignette; Volume II has 29 colour plates including colour vignette plus monochrome frontispiece; Volume III has 35 colour plates including colour vignette plus monochrome frontispiece; Volume IV has 32 colour plates including colour vignette plus monochrome frontispiece. This makes 130 colour plates in total [some of which are eggs] however, this arrangement over the four volumes does not exactly match those plates as listed with plate 18 of volume IV missing. We have seen various sets over the years with anything from 128 up to 132 colour plates. Fraying of the cloth across the tops of the spines, volume I has had a repair to the front hinge at some point in time leaving a ragged edge to the front gutter, without any foxing or toning to the paper or the plates.
