The extra set of plates, printed full size rather than the vignette size of those in the text, is vastly superior to the muddy ordinary set. A fine copy of this beautiful issue. The book has a printed dedication to “The mother of the gifted artist whose work, had he lived to complete the series of twenty four drawings in course of preparation, would have so enriched it.”
