14 loose signatures on folded, white Arches paper, totaling 76 pp. text. 32x29.5 cm (12½x12") Illustrated by Henry C. Pearson with 59 original, signed, colored lithographs, some on colored paper, are laid into the signatures, between sheets, each with a protective cover sheet. All in a printed Arches paper wrapper, this in a chemise and housed in Natural Nacri boards with title in grey script lettering (handwritten by Pearson) on spine, with blue and white lithographed, full-spread end papers, all in a slipcase of Natural Nacri. No. 19 of 45 copies.

Fourteen of the lithographs are full-page in color; 2 are double-page. One yellow circle image includes a separate, acetate layover of a blue circle. All text lettering and illustrations, Including title-page, numerals, text, colophon, etc. are the work of Henry C. Pearson. A stunning presentation and very scarce.

Some minor wear to slipcase with a few abraded areas, bump to head of spine, and a few areas of staining; some darkening to the spine of the boards, minor bump to bottom corner of top board, light edgewear to chemise, occasional light bumps to corners of signatures and lithographs, occasional light toning to edges; near fine.
