In-4, full blue morocco with 4 nerves, counterplate decorated with a quadruple gilt fillet surrounding a thin band of havana morocco, first cover preserved, gilt head, lined case (Binding by J. Van West). Spine a little darkened. - 114 pp, [3 ff.], 3 full-page colour illustrations and 48 black vignettes, some enhanced with ochre.

Born in Paris, the painter, draughtsman and engraver William Ablett (1877-1936) studied and made his entire career in France.
