Van Capelleveen, A6; Nelson, BH, 1894.13/86. Very slight discoloration to spine, extremely light wear, and a little foxing to prelims, otherwise a fine copy. A precursor to the Vale Press, this established many of the features that were to be consistent through the press’s life: the principal difference is the luxurious binding, which is something of a modest masterpiece.
