A scarce book with remarkable plates. Covers well worn. Pages are fragile but intact and there is some minor foxing as shown. I have identified ALL plates 1 through to 34 with none missing however there are "page remains" where it appears that something may have been cut out so please study photos and compare to your own references as required.
