Orig. published in 1910, this is a later (post-WWII) Reilly & Lee reprint (c. 1930s) , with the original color plates by John R. Neill now rendered into simple pen-and-ink. In 296 pages, with decorative endpapers, lavishly illustrated throughout.This edition has the later green cloth over boards (but not the much later orange ones), with a brilliantly colored paper pastedown to front cover & black lettering & design to spine (fancy publisher script, not plain). Condition is Near Fine: exceptionally clean & bright with faint foxing to front pastedown only. Binding straight & strong, pages creamy white with mild tanning, unmarked save for old gift inscription to verso of "This book belongs to" box page (box is blank). Corners crisp with very mild bumping & rubbing, same to both ends of spine. The original DJ is present (Good+ condition) & was laminated by original owner, showing light stains & many small chips, but still bright & colorful & it's done a wonderful job of protecting this book!
