Editions Club, 1947. Bound in full sheepskin with gilt decoration on the 
front cover and spine. Illustrated with 16 full-page color plates and a 
number of line drawings in the text by Fletcher Martin. Of a total 
edition of 1500 copies SIGNED by the artist on the colophon page, this

words "Office Copy" are handwritten along with the initials "G.C." 
Acquired directly from the publisher's files, this copy belonged to 
Gordon Carroll who was in charge of the club's operations in the 1970s 
when it operated out of Avon, CT. Very faint rubbing to the spine tips.
