Sticker inside front cover otherwise the text is wholly unmarked, the decorative cloth binding with gilt device and lettering is bright and fresh in appearance. Light wear and rubbing of cover, with fraying at the top and base of the spine. 129 pp. The plates of all Dulac's illustrations are present and intact, there is some creasing and one small tear. Binding is intact but has loosening and thus should be handled with care to avoid dislocation. A lovely copy of this volume.
