On this example the title page design is not mirrored on the front cover, which is decorated with a small flowing Art Nouveau motif. Boards rubbed and worn to extremities. Vellum spine age discoloured. Previous owner's book plate on the front pastedown. A 4pp hand-printed homage by the previous owner to Mackmurdo loosely inserted.
