London: Country Life, 1938. Large paper edition, limited to 250 copies: First edition. 205pp. With a colour frontis and 8 other colour plates with captioned guards, and 12 pencil plates. Limitation page on verso of half-title signed by Keith: a little minor foxing at this page and very faint spotting to pastedowns. Bookplate on front pastedown. Contents otherwise very clean. Fore-edge and bottom edge untrimmed, with one or two foxing spots. Large quarto (11.5 x 8.2ins), in the original binding of green cloth titled in gilt: slight mottling and marks, otherwise clean, bright and firm. In the protected scarce dust jacket, chipped, with some foxing, soiling, and creasing to the edges. Spine ends have severe chips, losing most of the print; these encroach slightly on to the pictorial front panel, which is otherwise complete but for a squarish one-inch chip to the bottom edge, which loses most of Thorburn's signature. Rear panel is blank, rather soiled, with closed tears. Very Good+ in poor dust-jacket.
