The boards are almost detached, the spine is rubbed at edges and corners bumped with a little loss of leather. The contents are as sated in uncut state with the folding frontispiece having a split along one fold line started, not repaired and not hanging off or loose. Plates very bright, clean sharp. 12 mo (duedecimo) *Excessively RARE Rowlandson 1st. Cruikshank often quoted as the first was the 2nd edition with colour plates or plain, but his was dated 1811 and this predates it by 2 years and this copy is the hand-coloured de-luxe issue. Binding needs work, but the original c1900 binding could still be re-used. ** Heritage auctions sold an example of this Bookplate by Maxfield Parrish in the James M Goode collection in 2015.
