Edition: First edition, first printing Date Printed: 1883 Description: Original half-cloth paper-covered boards pictorial hardback. Printed on very high quality paper. All edges untrimmed. Illustrated prospectus for Crawhall's "Old Ffrendes" at rear. Wear to covers, tears and small loss to spine ends (see picture). Browning and wear to boards. Internally clean and free of inscriptions. All hand-coloured plates present and correct. A nice example of this beautifully produced and rare book. NB This is the rare original 1883 first edition.
