Description: Oxford University Press. 1948. NEW EDITION. 8vo. (7.5 x 5.3 inches). Eight full page colour plates, and several line drawings in the text, by A. E. Jackson. A fine clean copy. Finely bound in mid twentieth century half red morocco leather binding. Spine with five raised bands. Compartments lettered in gilt. Red cloth on boards. Marbled endpapers. Top edge gilt.
