Comprises introduction, 32 full-page charts plus best several pages of adverts for other Th. de Dillmont publications. Charts include floral motifs, animals and birds, alphabets etc.
Illustrated in black and white.
A relatively scarce volume

In reasonably good condition overall with a few flaws. Staining/grubbiness to cover, especially around the edges that have been most heavily handled (see photo). Wear/creasing to corners. Pages are pulling away from fabric spine slightly in places. Bump to bottom inner corner throughout. Ink annotations to title page and inside front cover (see photo). Some handling creases, mainly to outer edges. Slight grubbiness to title page. General age discolouration/tanning. But otherwise good. Binding is tight. Internal pages are otherwise clean with no major flaws - no major stains, no tears and no further annotations

Apologies for the high shipping costs. This is a large-format publication that will need to be well packaging prior to shipping.
Shipping charges are usually estimated (particularly for combined shipping). If I find that I have grossly overestimated the shipping costs (after allowing a small amount for packaging) I will, of course, refund the difference
Any questions (or if you would like to see further photos prior to purchase), please feel free to ask
