New edition thoroughly revised and augmented.
890 pages, pages 856-867 missing as usual (probably never published), 12 plates by Keulemans bound in at the end of the volume (these plates have been hand coloured at a later date and the colouring is not ornithogically accurate), handsomely bound in half green calf, gilt titling and decoration on the spin, green cloth sides, marbled endpapers (book plate of Peter Steyn on the front paste-down endpaper), top edge gilt, the contents are crisp and bright.
Tear in the margin of the title page repaired with cellotape and now stained, signature of a previous owner at the top of the title page.
This work was originally issued in parts with the plates either hand coloured or plain.
