4° (233 x 157mm). 41 leaves, including the illustrated title and the 12 leaves with vignettes. Engraved throughout; all the illustrations hand-coloured.

Full navy blue straight-grained morocco by Pagnant, signed, flat spine with an all-over design and titled in gilt, gilt edges, marbled endpapers, slip case. Provenance: Giorgio Balbi (bookplate) — Martin Sacks (perhaps the Estonian sculptor, 1902-1962; bookplate).
