Contained in cardboard slipcase. = First edition. On each plate a photograph of a cloud, or several cloud-types (some coloured) and a drawing of the same with detailed explaination. A chronolical bibliography is included, starting with a work by Lamarck (1802). Do not confuse with the 1938 edition, which has only 41 plates, or an identically titled German publication from 1940.
