The large, landscape volume is presented in red boards with silver and gilt titling. Boards are stained with the remnants of a pasted on label on the front, but otherwise in good condition for their age. There are traces of pencil marking at the title page and a previous owner has pasted two black and white photographs at the front, free endpapers. All the colour plates are in fine condition but the final plate is detached and slightly ragged.
